■ Memory Card Precautions • If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, it is recommended that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office. • If you experience problems while trying to playback recorded images, try re-formatting the memory card. • As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory card is recommended. • Make sure that the battery is charged fully before starting a formatting operation. Formatting may not be performed correctly and the memory card may be damaged if the camera powers down while formatting is in progress. • Never open the battery cover while formatting is in progress. Doing so can damage the memory card. Using On-screen Menus The following are menu operations you will need to use to configure camera settings. Take a few moments to become familiar with them. • See "Menu Reference" on page 255 for information about menu contents. Example Menu Screen Press [MENU] to display the menu screen. • Menu contents are different in a REC mode and PLAY mode. This screen shows a REC mode menu. Tabs Settings GETTING READY 51
