Memory Card Precautions
• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a
memory card is installed in it.
• Be sure to use only CASIO or SanDisk CompactFlash
cards, or an IBM Microdrive. Proper operation is not guar-
anteed with other memory cards.
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-
nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of data
stored on a memory card. Because of this, you should al-
ways make backup copies of important images on other
media.
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting
the memory card. Reformatting a memory card deletes all
images stored on the card, but you can use a computer to
copy the images you want to keep to the computer’s hard
disk before reformatting your card. If you plan to be record-
ing images where you do not have access to a computer, it
is a good idea to take along an extra memory card or two
just in case you experience an unexpected memory card
problem.
• Formatting is recommended for any memory card that you
suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a RECORD
ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images) or for
newly purchased memory cards.
• Before starting a format operation, switch to AC adaptor
power or load a new set of recommended batteries into the
camera.
