Preparing the Camera See SD Cards and Estimated Capacities (p. 176). 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 types of 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 with this camera. However, Canon makes no warranties concerning the use of multi media cards. 27
