Data Backup - Pentax Optio 50L User Manual

Data Backup

Very occasionally, malfunction of the camera may cause data stored in the built-in memory to become
unreadable. As a backup measure, we recommend that you download important data to a PC or store the
data in a media other than the built-in memory.
Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening or closing the card
cover.
The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting the
switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by prohibiting recording of new
data, deletion of existing data or formatting of the card.
"Card locked" appears on the LCD monitor in recording mode when the
card is write-protected.
Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card
may be hot.
Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being recorded on the card,
images or voice memos are being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC with the USB cable as
this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away
from high temperature.
Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.
The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. PENTAX does not
accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the batteries are removed while the data
on the card is being recorded or accessed.
