171Appendix See page 22 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a memory card. Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one. • Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card. .Using a Memory Card • SD memory cards and SDHC 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 158). 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.) Using a Memory Card To replace the memory card Write enabled Write disabled
172Appendix .Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the Camera The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to another party. • When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or use commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on the memory card. • When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use commercially available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it. • Use the format function (page 158) to completely delete the data in built-in memory before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.
