data, applications, and video and photos taken with Camera.
Internal Storage/SD Card Cautions
Data on Internal Storage/SD Card
Data on internal storage/SD Card may be lost/altered
due to accidents, malfunctions, repairs, handset upgrade/

Exchanging Data with Non-SDXC-Compatible
Devices
To exchange data between handset and non-SDXC-

microSDXC Card used on handset in a non-SDXC-compatible
device may corrupt card data. In such cases, do not format
the microSDXC Card on that device even if prompted to do
so.
Formatting deletes all microSDXC Card data and changes
the file system. The original storage capacity may
be unavailable after formatting. To use a corrupted
microSDXC Card, format it on an SDXC-compatible device.

By default, data, including photos and videos taken
with handset, is saved in internal storage. Even with

storage.

Card, insert SD Card before using Camera, then change
save location as follows.
