Tips and Tricks
Notes on the use of
CompactFlash™ cards
In the following cases, data
may be lost or your memory
card may be damaged:
• If the card is used
improperly.
• If the card is near
electrostatic discharges
or electrical fields.
• If the card is removed or
the power supply
interrupted while the
camera is accessing the
card (reading, deleting).
• If the card is left unused
over a prolonged period.
With time, the data stored
on a CompactFlash™ card
gets weaker . After
prolonged nonuse, the
data on the card may
therefore be impossible to
recover.
• Formatting your card will
irreversibly delete all the
data stored on it.
• The storage capacity of
CompactFlash™ cards
diminishes with heavy use.
Should this be noticed,
buy a new card.
• Keep your memory card
away from electrical fields
and static charges.
• Do not bend the card, nor
expose it to heavy impact
• Do not touch the electrical
contacts with your fingers
or a metallic object.
• Protect the card from
humidity, heat and direct
sunlight.
• Keep the card away from
powerful magnets, such
as in loudspeakers.
• Keep the card in its case
when not using it.
Care of TFT screen
• The TFT screen of the
camera is a highly precise
component with a pixel
failure rate of less than
0.02%.
• Do not subject the surface
of the screen to any
pressure whatsoever, since
this might result in
permanent damage.
• At low temperatures, the
screen may temporarily
darken. However, it will go
back to normal as soon as
normal temperature is
restored.
• Should the screen surface
be dirty, first blow away
dust and sand, then use a
soft, dry and clean cloth.
• Should the screen flicker
permanently or fail to
work, it will have to be
replaced.
