Data Backup - Pentax Optio E10 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.
