may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it  away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage  the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following  circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical 
interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the batteries are removed  while the card is being accessed.

on another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.167).
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording 
may stop while recording a movie even if there is adequate space in the 
memory, or image capture or playback may take a long time.
