For memory cards
• While a picture is being stored or the memory card is being read,
it may not be removed, the camera turned o or exposed to
vibrations.
• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the anti–
static cover supplied.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this can damage it and
result in loss of the stored data.
• Always remove the memory card, if you will not be using the camera
for a long period of time.
• Do not touch the connections on the rear of the memory card and
keep them free of dirt, dust and moisture.
• It is recommended that the memory card be reformatted from time
to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can block
some of the memory capacity.
Storage
• If you are not using the camera for a longer period of time, we
recommend that you:
a.
Turn it off (see p. 106),
b.
Remove the memory card (see p. 114),
c.
Remove the battery (see p. 113) (the date and time will be
lost after a maximum of 3 days, see p. 122).
• A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on the
front of the camera. The camera must therefore never be set aside
in strong sunlight without protection. Use the lens cap and keep
the camera in the shade (or immediately put it away in the case)
help to prevent damage to the interior of the camera.
• You should preferably store the camera in a closed and padded
container so that nothing can damage it and it is protected from
dust.
• Store the camera in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where
neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When used
in humid conditions, the camera should be completely free of all
moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to
prevent damage to your equipment caused by moisture and any
leather-tanning residue released.
