Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from being
recorded on the card, the stored data from
being deleted, and the card from being
formatted by the camera or computer.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after
using the camera because the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while images or
sound files are being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is
connected to a computer with the USB cable. This may cause the data to be
lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away
from water and store away from high temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting. The card may be
damaged beyond use.
• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances.
We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted if
(1) the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the data on
the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If the SD Memory Card is not used for a long time, the data on the card may
become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on
a computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
