Preparing the Camera
If the camera is not operating correctly, the
SD card may be corrupted. Formatting the
card may solve the problem.
If you are using an SD card from another
manufacturer and the card is not functioning
correctly, you may be able to correct the
problem by formatting the card.
SD cards formatted with another camera, a
computer or peripheral device may not
operate correctly. Format these cards with
this camera. If formatting in the camera
doesn't work properly, turn the camera off
and re-insert the SD card. Then turn the
camera back on and format again.
Handling Precautions for SD Cards
SD cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not
bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to
shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the SD card.
Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact
the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the
terminals with your hands or metal objects.
Do not peel away the original label on the SD card or
cover it with another label or sticker.
When writing on the SD card, use a soft point pen (e.g.
felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point
pen) or pencil may damage the SD card or corrupt the
recorded data.
Since some or all of the data recorded on the SD card
may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static
electricity or card malfunction, making a backup copy
of important data is recommended.
Moving an SD card rapidly between temperature
extremes will cause condensation to form in the card
and lead to a malfunction. To avoid condensation,
place the SD card in a sealed plastic bag before
moving it into a different temperature zone and allow it
to adjust slowly to the new temperature.
If condensation forms on the SD card, store it at room
temperature until the water droplets have evaporated
naturally.
Do not use or store SD cards in the following locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high
temperatures
Precaution for Multi Media Cards
This camera is designed to perform optimally when
used with genuine Canon-brand SD cards. You may
use multi media cards (MMC) with this camera.
However, Canon makes no warranties concerning the
use of multi media cards (MMC).
