ŸIn the event of malfunction or damage, it is possible that data may be lost. Konica can not accept responsibility in any way for such data loss.

ŸAlways back-up important data.

ŸWhen using SD Memory Cards on a PC, do not change the attributes(read-only, etc.) of the files (image data) on the card. Doing so may prevent the camera from working properly when deleting images, etc.

ŸDo not change the file names or the directory name of image data saved on an SD Memory Card using a PC or save files other than image data taken by this camera. Images that have been changed or added will not only not play back on the camera but may cause the camera to malfunction as well.

ŸAlways format SD Memory Cards using this camera. A card formatted in a PC may not operate properly.

ŸThe SD Memory Card includes a write-protect switch.

Sliding this switch downward prevents data from being written to the card and images, etc. saved on the card are protected. Please note that pictures cannot be taken or deleted when the writeprotect switch is on.

ŸWhen using a large-capacity card, card check and deletion may take some time.
