For memory cards
• While a picture is being stored or the memory card is being read,
it must not be removed, and the camera must not be turned off
or exposed to vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the
antistatic cover supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static
discharge.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this can damage them
and result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card if you will not be using the
camera for a long period of time.
• Do not touch the contacts on the rear of the memory card and
keep them free of dirt, dust, and moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory card be reformatted from
time to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can
block some of the memory capacity.

Storage
• If you are not using the camera for a longer period of time, we
recommend that you:
a. Turn off the camera
b. Remove the memory card
c. Remove the battery
• A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on
the front of the camera. The camera must therefore never be set
aside in strong sunlight without protection. Using the lens cap
and keeping the camera in the shade (or immediately putting it
away in the case) help to prevent damage to the interior of the
camera.
• Store the camera preferably in a closed and padded container
so that nothing can rub against it and it is protected from dust.
• Store the camera in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where
neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When used
in humid conditions, the camera should be completely free of all
moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to
prevent damage to your equipment caused by moisture and any
leather-tanning residue released.
