On database files
When you insert a memory card without a database file into the camera and
turn on the power, part of the memory card capacity is used to automatically
create a database file. It may take some time until you can perform the next
operation.
Notes on recording/playback
• To ensure stable operations of the memory card, we recommend that you use
this camera to format any memory card being used with this camera for the
first time. Note that formatting will erase all data recorded on the memory
card. This data cannot be restored. Be sure to backup any important data to a
PC or other storage location.
• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the
camera is working correctly.
• The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.
• Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a
malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction of the camera.
• Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or
emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back
images.
• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions.
• If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.
• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may
not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become
unusable or image data may be damaged.
• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt
on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface,
resulting in insufficient light emission.
