USING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY
FOR CORRECT USE OF YOUR CAMERA (continued)
CAUTION
B
Cautions when handling the cards
œ The cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to
strong forces or shocks. Be especially careful with the Microdrive, for it is
easily damaged by vibrations.
œ
Avoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low
temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle,
near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations.
œ
Avoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical
charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.
œ
Do not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign
materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth.
œ
When not using the cards, put them back into their protective covers to
protect them from damage due to static electricity.
œ
Do not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become
damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply
forces.
œ Before using a new card, be sure to format it using the digital camera (see
“FORMATTING A CARD” on page 35).
œ When buying separately sold or commercially available products, carefully
read the instructions and warnings that come with them.
