formatted by the camera or
computer.
• The SD Memory Card may be hot when removing the card immediately
after using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the card is
being accessed. This may cause the data to be lost or the card to be

away from water and store away from high temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be
damaged and become unusable.

interference.
