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
• When you use a memory card with this camera for the first time, it is
recommended to format the card using the camera for stable performance of
the memory card before shooting.
Note that formatting permanently erases all data on the memory card, and is
unrecoverable. Save precious data on a computer, etc.
• If you repeatedly record/delete images, fragmentation of data may occur on
the memory card. Movies may not be able to be saved or recorded. In such a
case, save your images to a PC or other storage location, then [Format].
• 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. Read
“Precautions” (page 26) before operating the camera.
