Notes on memory card
If you repeatedly shoot and delete images for a long time, fragmentation of data in a file in the memory card may
occur, and movie recording may be interrupted in the middle of shooting. If this happens, save your images to a
computer or other storage location, then execute [Format] using this camera.
Do not remove the battery pack or the memory card, disconnect the USB cable, or turn the camera off while the
access lamp is lit up. This may cause the data on the memory card to become damaged.
Be sure to back up the data for protection.
Not all memory cards are guaranteed to operate correctly.
Images recorded on an SDXC memory card cannot be imported to or played on computers or AV devices that are
not compatible with exFAT when connected using a USB cable. Make sure that the device is compatible with exFAT
before connecting it to the camera. If you connect your camera to an incompatible device, you may be prompted to
format the card. Never format the card in response to this prompt, as doing so will erase all data on the card. (exFAT
is the file system used on SDXC memory cards.)
