About the internal memory
Back up the internal memory periodically.
It is recommended that you back up the internal memory
to your PC or an SD card periodically to prevent the data
from being lost due to static electricity, electromagnetic
wave, damage, malfunctions, etc.

use of this product, failures, malfunctions, etc.
If this unit is repaired, the internal memory may be
restored to the factory default conditions.
About SDs
Usable SD cards (

Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used.
The usable area will be less than the indicated capacity.
SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards can be
used on equipment that supports respective cards.
(SDHC memory cards can also be used on equipment
that supports SDXC memory cards.)
Using those cards with incompatible equipment may
format the cards or delete recorded contents.
When using those cards on computer or equipment
incompatible with SDXC memory cards, a message
asking you to format the card may appear. Do not
format the card because your important data will be
deleted and cannot be restored.
