Inserting a Memory Card
c
Cautions
•
Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or
deleted from the card
. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
• Format SD memory cards before fi rst use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a com-
puter or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 90.
• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,
seek medical assistance immediately.
• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject
normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly
remove the card.
• Do not affi
x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed
(4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.
• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the
repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do
not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image fi les. Always
use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming fi les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
