Data Backup
Very occasionally, data stored in the built-in memory becomes unreadable. As a
backup measure, we recommend that you download important data to a PC or store
the data in a medium other than the built-in memory.
Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the battery/card cover.
The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch.
Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by
prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or
formatting of the card.
Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card
immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off
while data is being recorded on the card, images or sound are
being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC with
the USB cable as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from
water and store away from high temperature.
Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on another camera.
Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory” (p.158) for
instructions on formatting.
Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the
card and render it unusable.
The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances.
PENTAX does not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is
removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the
data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of
important data on a PC.
Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to
rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop
while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or
shooting and playback may take a long time.
When you purchase the SD Memory Card, access the PENTAX website and
confirm beforehand if they have compatibility with your camera. Inquiries on the
card compatibility can also be answered by your nearest PENTAX service center.
If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD Memory Card, you should
ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed
if it contains any personal or sensitive information. Please note that formatting the
SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered
using off-the-shelf data recovery software. There are off-the-shelf secure data
deletion software programs available that will completely delete the data. In any
case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.
