Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started• The SD Memory Card is equipped with awrite-protect switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from being
recorded on the card, the stored data fromWrite-protect
being deleted, and the card from being
switchformatted by the camera or a computer.
r appears on the display when the card iswrite-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately afterusing the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the camera while data is being
written or played back from the SD Memory Card or while connected to acomputer with a USB cable. Doing so may result in data corruption or damage
to the card.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it awayfrom water and store away from high temperature.
• Never remove the SD Memory Card while it is being formatted. This may
damage the card and make it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted. This
includes the following:(1) When the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) When the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electricalinterference.
(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 thedata 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 orelectrical 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 thememory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used onanother camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.200).
• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete
the data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery
software. There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs
available that will completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, giveaway or sell your SD Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on thecard is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any
personal or sensitive information. In any case, the data on your SD Memory
Card should be managed at your own risk.

About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash isreflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area aroundthe subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.
Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also
an effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be correctedby the red-eye compensation function (p.179).

RemedyThe camera may have difficulty infocusing on such subjects as: low
contrast subjects (a white wall, a bluesky, etc.), dark subjects, finely-patterned
objects, rapidly-moving objects. It is alsodifficult to get proper focus whenshooting through a window or a net(p.68). Try shooting using the focus lock,or \ (Manual Focus) (p.106).
Locate the desired subject in the focus
frame (focusing area) in the center of thedisplay. If it is difficult to do so, first lockthe focus on the desired subject (focuslock), and then move the camera torecompose.
