* You will need a PC Card Adapter or Card Reader to be able to download to a
memory card.
• If you purchase additional memory cards, format them with the camera, not a
PC or other device. There have been cases where memory cards formatted with
a PC or other device do not function properly.
• We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your PC’s hard
drive or other external memory device. Image data may be damaged or lost due
to a defect in a memory card, or if a memory card is exposed to static
electricity. Contents of a memory card cannot be compensated for should data
become damaged or lost.
• Do not remove the power source or the memory card while the camera is
accessing (recording to, reading, erasing files from or formatting) the memory
card.
• Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
• Do not disassemble memory cards.
• Do not bend or drop memory cards, or expose them to strong vibrations or
external shocks.
