Precautions during Use
• The bundled USB-AC adaptor is designed for operation with any power supply in
the range of 100V to 240V AC, 50/60Hz. Note, however, that the shape of the
power plug depends on each country or geographic area. Before taking the camera
and USB-AC adaptor along on a trip, check with travel agent about the power
supply requirements in your destination(s).
• Do not connect the USB-AC adaptor to a power supply through a voltage converter
or similar device. Doing so can lead to malfunction.
.
Extra Batteries
• Taking along extra fully charged batteries (NP-80) is recommended while on a trip
in order to avoid not being able to shoot images due to the battery going dead.
See page 23 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a
memory card.
.
Using a Memory Card
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during image playback, you can
restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 95). However, it is recommended
that you always take along multiple memory cards whenever using the camera far
away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
.
Memory Card Handling Precautions
• Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever
possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all
operations can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is
used. Certain movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to
record data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback.
