Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to

LOCK prevents new data from being
recorded on the card, the stored data from
being deleted, and the card from being
formatted by the camera or computer.
• The SD Memory Card may be hot when
removing the card immediately after using
the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while

temperatures.
