Data read/write speeds differ depending on the combination of the memory card and the equipment
used.
Data may be corrupted in the following cases:

When the memory card is used in locations subject to static electricity or electrical noise
We recommend backing up important data.
Do not attach a label on the memory card itself nor on a memory card adaptor.

Do not strike, bend or drop the memory card.
Do not disassemble or modify the memory card.
Do not expose the memory card to water.
Do not leave the memory card within the reach of small children. They might accidentally swallow it.
Insert a memory card that fits the memory card slot size. Otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

Images recorded in “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media, SDXC memory cards, or micro SDXC
memory cards cannot be transferred or played back on computers or AV devices that are not
exFAT-compatible, even when the camera is connected to the computer or AV device using a USB
cable. Before connecting, make sure that the device is exFAT-compatible. If connected to a device
that is not exFAT-compatible, a format drive request may appear. Do not format the drive, or all
data will be lost. (exFAT is the file system used by “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media, SDXC
memory cards and micro SDXC memory cards.)
Note on using the memory card adaptor (sold separately)
When inserting a memory card into a memory card adaptor, make sure the memory card is inserted
facing in the correct direction, then insert it all the way in. Incorrect insertion may result in a
malfunction.
When using “Memory Stick Micro” media or a microSD memory card, be sure to insert into the
dedicated memory card adaptor.
