Precautions

Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery pack, or remove the memory card while the access lamp is lit.
Otherwise, the internal memory data or the memory card may be damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to protect
your data.
On database files
When you insert a memory card without a database file into the camera and turn on the power, part of the memory card
capacity is used to automatically create a database file. It may take some time until you can perform the next operation.
If a database file error occurs, import all the images to a computer using PlayMemories Home, then format the memory
card.

In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may cause a
