Never open the slot cover while the camera is on.
This could destroy the image data or damage the
media itself.

If the camera loses power while it is shooting or saving an image, it cannot save the photographed
image. Note the battery level carefully when shooting long-exposure images (e.g. bulb photography)
or when shooting images that will take some time to save (continuous shooting or shots with the
quality set to “HIGH”).
