Note

Do not turn this unit off, remove its battery or card, or disconnect the AC adaptor (optional) when the access indication is lit [when pictures are being written, read or deleted, or the built-in memory or the card is being formatted (P29)]. Furthermore, do not subject the camera to vibration, impact or static electricity.

The card or the data on the card may be damaged, and this unit may no longer operate normally.

If operation fails due to vibration, impact or static electricity, perform the operation again.

The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing important data on a PC etc.

Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure proper operation. (P29)
