Notes on using memory cards

• Do not strike, bend or drop the memory card.
• Do not use or store the memory card under the following conditions:
– High temperature locations such as the hot interior of a car parked in
direct sunlight.
– Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
– Humid locations or locations with corrosive substances present.
• The memory card may be hot just after it has been used for a long time.
Be careful when you handle it.
• When the access lamp is lit, do not remove the memory card or the
battery pack, or turn off the power. The data may be corrupted.
• Data may be damaged if you place the memory card near strongly-
magnetized material or use the memory card in a static-prone or
electrically noisy environment.
• We recommend backing up important data, such as to a hard disk of a
computer.
• When you carry or store the memory card, put it in the case supplied with
it.
• Do not expose the memory card to water.
• Do not touch the terminal section of the memory card with your hand or a
metal object.
• When the write-protect switch of a memory card is set to the LOCK
position, you cannot perform operations, such as recording or deleting
images.
• The memory cards formatted with a computer are not guaranteed to
operate with this camera. Be sure to format the memory cards using the
camera.
• Data read/write speeds differ depending on the combination of the
memory cards and the equipment used.
• Do not press down hard when you write down on the memo area.
• Do not attach a label on the memory cards themselves.
• Do not disassemble or modify the memory cards.
• Do not leave the memory cards within the reach of small children. They
might accidentally swallow it.
