 ●
While the camera is accessing the card or built-in memory (for an operation such as 
picture writing, reading, deletion, or formatting), do not turn off the camera or remove 
the battery, card, AC adaptor (optional) or DC coupler (optional). Do not subject the 
camera to vibrations, impact, or static electricity. The card or the data on the card may 
be damaged, and this unit may no longer operate normally. If operation fails due to 
vibration, impact or static electricity, perform the operation again.
 ●
Please reformat the card with this camera if it has already been 
formatted with a computer or another device. (→73)
 ●
If the write-protect switch is set to “LOCK”, the card cannot be used to 
record or delete pictures, and it cannot be formatted.
 ●
It is recommended that you copy important pictures to your computer 
(as electromagnetic waves, static electricity, or faults may cause data 
to be damaged).
 ●
Make sure that there are no foreign materials such as dust or water 
on the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals 
with your hand. Doing so may cause this unit to malfunction.
