Data may be lost if you turn off the power of the camera recorder or remove the SDHC card when it is being accessed. All data recorded on the card, including the file that is being accessed, may be corrupted.

If you mistakenly remove the card when it is being accessed, reinsert the card only after the status indicator goes off.

The SDHC card may not be recognized if you insert and remove the card within a short time. When this happens, remove the card and wait for a few seconds before you reinsert.
