During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the y icon will be displayed, or the M (when the internal
memory is being used) or O (when the memory card is being used) icon will blink. Do not
turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber cover and the memory card slot cover, eject
the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while these icons are displayed.
Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of
data or in damage to the camera or card.
