• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it
away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following

(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while
the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become
unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a
computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity
or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be
exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording
may stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space
in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.

on another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.190).
