To record on this SD card, slide the tab back to
the position opposite to "LOCK" before inserting
it.
NOTE:
Before using a new SD card, it is necessary to
format the card. ( pg. 20)
ATTENTION:
Do not insert or remove the SD card while the
camera is turned on, as this may cause the SD card
to be corrupted or cause the camera to become
unable to recognize whether or not the SD card is
installed.
I Formatting a Recording Medium
You can format (initialize) the built-in hard disk
(HDD) or SD cards. You have to format the
newly-purchased SD cards with this camera
before using them. This enables stable speeds
and operation when accessing the recording
medium. Be aware that all files and data
including protected files will be erased.
