with metal objects (including coins)
to avoid short circuiting, discharging,
excessive heat or possible leakage.

Safety Notes for Memory Cards
We highly suggest buying only well-
known, name brand memory cards
to ensure peak performance and

Format the memory card using the

allow it to hit solid objects to avoid

Do not attempt to disassemble or

Do not expose the memory card to

Do not remove the memory card when

Do not directly edit the data on the

When the camera is stored for long
periods of time, be sure to download
your photos and remove the memory
card. Store the memory card in a dry
environment.
Do not modify the name of the iles
or folders of the memory card using

names may cause the iles to not
be recognized on the camera or a
possible permanent error may occur.
A photo taken with the camera
will be stored in the folder that is
automatically generated on the
memory card. Do not store photos
that are not taken using this camera in
these folders as the pictures cannot be
