When the camera is stored for a long period of time, be sure to download your photos and remove the memory card. Store it in a dry environment.

Do not modify the name of the files or folders of the memory card using your PC. Modifying the file names may cause the files to not be recognized on the camera or a possible error may occur.

A photo taken with the camera will be stored in the folder that is automatically generated on the memory card. Do not store photos that are not taken using this camera in these folders as the pictures cannot be recognized during the playback.

When you insert a memory card, make sure the notch of the card matches the markings on the top of the card slot.
