Sony DSC-HX400V - Manual (Page 166)

Note
When you use a memory card with this product for the first time, it is recommended that you
format the card using the product for stable performance of the memory card before
shooting.
Note that formatting permanently erases all data on the memory card, and is unrecoverable.
Save precious data on a computer, etc.
If you repeatedly shoot and delete images for a long time, fragmentation of data in a file in
the memory card may occur, and movie recording may be interrupted in the middle of
shooting. If this happens, save your images to a computer or other storage location, then
execute [Format].
Memory card formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with the product.
Data read/write speeds differ depending on the combination of the memory card and the
equipment used.
We recommend backing up important data, such as to a hard disk of a computer.
Do not attach a label on the memory card itself nor on a memory card adaptor.
Do not touch the terminal section of the memory card with your hand or a metal object.
Do not strike, bend or drop the memory card.
Do not disassemble or modify the memory card.
Do not expose the memory card to water.
Do not leave the memory card within the reach of small children. They might accidentally
swallow it.
The memory card may be hot just after it has been used for a long time. Be careful when you
handle it.
Do not insert a memory card that does not fit the memory card slot. Doing so will cause a
malfunction.
Do not use or store the memory card under the following conditions:
High temperature locations such as in a car parked under the sun
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Humid locations or locations with corrosive substances present
Images recorded on “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media, SDXC memory cards and micro
SDXC memory cards cannot be imported to or played on computers or AV devices that are
not compatible with exFAT when connected using a micro USB cable. Make sure that the
device is compatible with exFAT before connecting it to the product. If you connect your
product to an incompatible device, you may be prompted to format the card. Never format
the card in response to this prompt, as doing so will erase all data on the card. (exFAT is the
file system used on “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media, SDXC memory cards and micro
SDXC memory cards.)
