camera off, remove the battery or the card. Furthermore, do not subject the camera to
vibration, impact or static electricity.
The card or the data on the card may be damaged, and the camera may no longer

delete or format the data or display it by recording date. These operations
become available again when you unlock the switch.

static electricity or breakdown of the camera or the card. We recommend storing
