Memory Card Precautions
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore
normal operation by reformatting it. However, it is
recommended that you always take along more than one
memory card whenever using the camera far away from the
home or office.
• If you feel that images are not being recorded normally, try re-
formatting the memory card.
• As you record data to and delete data from an SD memory
card a number of times, it loses its ability to retain data.
Because of this, periodic re-formatting of an SD memory card
is recommended.
• Make sure that the battery is charged fully before starting a
formatting operation. Formatting may not be performed
correctly and the memory card may be damaged if the
camera powers down while formatting is in progress.
• Never open the battery cover while formatting is in progress.
Doing so can damage the memory card.
