∫About handling a card

Transfer important pictures/motion pictures from your card to your PC periodically (P91). The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic waves, static electricity, the camera breaking down or a defective card.

•Do not format the card on your PC or other equipment. Format it on the camera only to ensure proper operation. (P90)

•The reading/writing speed of an SD Memory Card and an SDHC Memory Card is fast. Both types of card are equipped with a Write-Protect switch B that can inhibit writing and formatting a card. (When the switch is slid to the [LOCK] side, it is not possible to write or delete data on the card and format it. When the switch is unlocked, these functions become available.)
