HNotes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off during data recording, during data deleting (SmartMedia formatting). These actions could result in damage to the SmartMedia.

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the camera. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.

h The SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject the SmartMedia to shocks.

h Do not use or store the SmartMedia in environment likely to be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.

h Do not use or store the SmartMedia in very hot, humid or corrosive environment.

h Take care not to touch the SmartMedia's contact area or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use the special static-free case provided during transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available.

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may result in a camera malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again.

h Do not carry the SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after extended periods of picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

10 h SmartMedia have a limited life and it will eventually

become impossible to store or delete data on a SmartMedia that has been used for a long period. When this occurs, purchase a new SmartMedia card.

h Affix the label onto the designed area of the card. Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to problems when the card is inserted or removed.

h When you attach the label, take care that it does not cover any of the write-protect area.

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia by connecting the camera to a TV using the video cable. h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your

camera.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard disk and then edit the copied data.
