Information and Precautions
Introduction
Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means of 
a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.
• Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced
Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds or local government 
bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are  stamped “Sample”. The copying or reproduction of 
paper money, coins, or securities which are circulated in a foreign country is prohibited. Unless the 
prior permission of the government was obtained,  the copying or reproduction of unused postage 
stamps or post cards issued by the government is prohibited.
The copying or reproduction of stamps issued  by the government and of certified documents 
stipulated by law is prohibited.
• Cautions on certain copies and reproductions
The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities issued by private 
companies (shares, bills, checks, gift certificates,  etc.), commuter passes or coupon tickets, except 
when a minimum of necessary copies are to be provided for business use by a company. Also, do not 
copy or reproduce passports issued by the government, licenses issued by public agencies and 
private groups, ID cards and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.
• Comply with copyright notices
The copying or reproduction of co pyrighted creative works such as books, music, paintings, woodcut 
prints, maps, drawings, movies and photographs is governed by national and international copyright 
laws. Do not use this product for the purpose of maki ng illegal copies or to infringe copyright laws.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-in 
camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be 
recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially 
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s 
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data 
using commercial deletion software, or format the  device and then completely refill it with images 
containing no private information (for example, pict ures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any 
pictures selected for the welcome screen ( A124). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage 
to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
