On recording/playback
When you use a memory card with
this camera for the first time, we
recommend to format the card
using the camera for stable
performance of the memory card
before shooting.
Note that formatting permanently
erases all data on the memory card,
and is unrecoverable. Save
important data on a computer, etc.
If you repeatedly record/delete
images, fragmentation of data may
occur on the memory card. Movies
may not be able to be saved or
recorded. If this happens, save your
images to a computer or other
storage location, and then format
the memory card (page 166).
Before you record one-time events,
make a trial recording to make sure
that the camera is working
correctly.
This camera is neither dust-proof,
splash-proof, nor water-proof.
Do not look at the sun or a strong
light through an unattached lens or
the viewfinder. This may cause
irrecoverable damage to your eyes.
It may also cause a malfunction of
your camera.
Do not use the camera near a place
that generates strong radio waves or
emits radiation. The camera may
not be able to record or play back
properly.
Using the camera in sandy or dusty
place may cause malfunctions.
If moisture condensation occurs,
remove it before using the camera
(page 201).
Do not shake or strike the camera.
In addition to malfunctions and an
inability to record images, this may
render the memory card unusable,
or cause image data breakdown,
damage or loss.
Clean the flash surface with a soft
cloth or similar material before use.
The heat of flash emission may
cause dirt on the flash surface to
emit smoke or burned.
Keep the camera, supplied
accessories, etc., out of the reach of
children. A memory card, etc., may
be swallowed. If this happens,
consult a doctor immediately.
