. Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC
memory cards have a write protect switch. Use the
switch when you need to guard against accidentally
deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect an
SD memory card you must then turn write protection
off whenever you want to record to it, format it, or
delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 162).
However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speed. Whenever possible
use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card. Note, however, that not all operations
can be guaranteed even if an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card is used. Certain
movie quality settings can result in too much time being required to record data,
which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio during playback. If this happens,
the

will turn yellow on the monitor screen.
