Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not
bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or
vibration.
z
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.
z
Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the
terminals on the back of the memory card. Do not touch the
terminals with your hands or metal objects.
z
Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or
cover it with another label or sticker.
z
When writing on the memory card, do not use a pencil or
ballpoint pen. Only use a soft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen).
z
Do not use or store memory cards in the following locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
z
Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card
may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static
electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a
backup copy of important data is recommended.
z
Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card
erases all data, including protected images.
z
You are recommended to use memory cards that have been
formatted in your camera.
• The memory card supplied with the camera may be used without
further formatting.
• When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might
be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.
• When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning,
reformatting it may solve the problem.
• Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral
devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that
happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.
z
If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the
camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the
camera back on and format again.
