Data Backup

Very occasionally, malfunction of the camera may cause data stored in the built-in memory to become unreadable. As a backup measure, we recommend that you download important data to a PC or store the data in a media other than the built-in memory.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

•Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening or closing the card cover.

•The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by

prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or formatting of the card.
