Handling SD (SDHC) Memory Cards (Optio E70)

Q: Are there any handling recommendations when using SD (SDHC) Memory Cards in my Optio E70?

A: A card that is unused or previously used in another device, such as another camera or a computer, must be formatted in the Optio E70 prior to use.

*Note that formatting a card erases all the data on the card, including protected images.

Do not remove an SD (SDHC) Memory Card or turn the camera off while you are recording data or playing back images or while the camera is connected to a computer via a USB cable. Doing so can result in the corruption of stored data and/or damage to the SD (SDHC) Memory Card.

Do not bend an SD (SDHC) Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Do not leave cards in locations where they may be exposed to moisture or high temperatures. Doing so can result in the corruption of stored data and/or damage to the SD (SDHC) Memory Card.

SD (SDHC) Memory Cards have a limited life-span. If a card is left unused for a long period, it may no longer be possible to read the data stored on the card. Important data should be backed up regularly.
Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
