•  Do not turn the camera off  or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are 
being recorded to or deleted from the card.  Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
•  Format memory cards before fi rst use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer  or other device.  For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 86.
•  Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children.  If a child swallows a memory card,  seek medical assistance immediately.

•  Formatting a memory card in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.  Do not rename or delete  this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image fi les.  Always use the camera to 
delete pictures; before editing or renaming fi les, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not
