■ 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 246 for information about menu contents. • You also can use the Operation Panel (page 53) to configure some of the settings that appear on the menu screen. In any case where the same setting can be configured both on the Operation Panel and on the menu screen, the Operation Panel operation is always shown. Example Menu Screen Press [MENU] to display the menu screen. • Menu contents are different in the REC mode and PLAY mode. This screen shows the REC mode menu. Tabs Settings GETTING READY 50
