To prevent the battery from being
damaged, do not drop the battery or

Safety Notes for Memory Card
We suggest buying only well-known,

peak performance.
Format the memory card using the
camera before you use it or insert a
new one.
Do not drop the memory card or
allow it to hit solid objects to avoid
damaging it.
Do not attempt to disassemble or

Do not expose the memory card to

period of time, be sure to download
your photos and remove the memory
card. Store it in a dry environment.
Do not modify the name of the iles
or folders of the memory card using
your PC. Modifying the ile names may
cause the iles to not be recognized
on the camera or a possible 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
