Notes

•When initializing (formatting) a card, confirm that no necessary data is stored on the card beforehand. Initialization completely erases the existing data on the card.

•Cards used in a recorder must be formatted in the same recorder first unless formatted with a CAMEDIA series Olympus digital camera. Card may not perform as expected when formatted by a different device.

•The card has a service life. When reaching the end of its life, writing or erasing data on the card will be disabled. In this case, replace the card.

•If you use a PC card adapter compatible with the card to save or delete some data on the card, the maximum recording time on the card may be decreased. To recover the original recording time, initialize/format the card in the recorder.

10 • Olympus will not be held liable for any data corruption or loss due to misuse of the media card.
