described in these manuals at any time and without prior notice.

Comply with Copyright Notices
Under copyright law, photographs or recordings of copyrighted works made with the
camera can not be used without the permission of the copyright holder. Exceptions apply
to personal use, but note that even personal use may be restricted in the case of
photographs or recordings of exhibits or live performances.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards
does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be
recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is
the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, make
sure to reset all of the camera’s settings in Reset all in the setup menu (A111). After
resetting, erase all data in the device using commercial deletion software, or format the
device in Format memory or Format card in the setup menu (A111), then completely
refill it with images containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky).
Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying
memory cards.
