Getting Started
• Pre caut ions when using an SD Memory Card
• Make sure the camera is turned off before opening the
battery/card cover.
• The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Moving
the switch to the [Lock] position prevents the recording and
erasing of data and the formatting of the card and protects
all saved data.
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than
the camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with
the camera.
• The SD Memory Card may be hot when removed
immediately after camera use. Please be careful.
• Do not remove the card or turn off the camera when
recording data or playing back images or sounds from the SD Memory Card,
or when connected to a PC with the USB cable. This could cause data loss or
card damage.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Do not get it
wet or leave it in a high temperature location.
• New cards or cards used in another camera must be formatted before use. For
more information about formatting the card, see “Formatting an SD Memory
Card” (p.97).
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while the card is being formatted. The
card may be damaged and become unusable.

conditions. PENTAX does not accept any liability regarding erased data.

interference can occur.
