sation to form in the card and lead to a
malfunction. To avoid condensation, place
the memory card in a sealed plastic bag
before moving it into a different tempera-
ture zone and allow it to adjust slowly to
the new temperature.
ϘIf condensation forms on the memory card,
store it at room temperature until the water
droplets have evaporated naturally.
ϘDo not use or store memory cards in loca-
tions subject to dust or sand nor in loca-
tions subject to high humidity and high
temperatures
How to handle SD memory cards
ϘDo not allow dirt, water or foreign objects
to contact the terminals on the back of the
card. Do not touch the terminals with your
hands or metal objects.
ϘDo not peel away the original label on the
memory card or cover it with another label
or sticker.
ϘWhen writing on the memory card, use
a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using
a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or
pencil may damage the memory card or
corrupt the recorded data.
ϘSince some or all of the data recorded on
the memory card may be corrupted or
erased by electrical noise, static electric-
ity, camera or card malfunction, making a
backup copy of impor tant data is recom-
mended.
ϘMoving a memory card rapidly between
temperature extremes will cause conden-
Some SD memory cards may have a
write-protect tab. Sliding the tab down-
ward prevents recording of data and protects
existing data (e.g. images). When recording to,
erasing from or formatting the memory card,
slide the tab upward.
Ensure that the memory card is correctly
oriented before inserting it in the camera. It
may damage the camera if inserted backward
by mistake.
Cautions When Handling SD memory cards:
ϘMemory cards are high-precision electronic
devices. Do not bend them, apply force
to them, or subject them to shocks or
vibration.
ϘDo not attempt to disassemble or alter the
memory card.
