NOTE

When a storage card is installed, you may notice a delay between the time you press the shutter button and when the camera beeps. To avoid blurring, hold the camera still until it beeps.

CAUTION

Never remove the card while the camera is accessing it. Data in the card may be lost or damaged. Avoid using or storing the card in dusty places, in direct sunlight, or in hot or humid places.

Removing a Storage Card

Make sure the camera is turned off. Then open the cover to the storage card slot and gently pull out the storage card.

When you are not using your SmartMedia card, always store it in its case or inside the camera to avoid damaging it.

Transferring Images and Sound to Your Computer

There are two ways you can transfer the pictures and sound on a SmartMedia card to your computer:

Use the serial port on your computer. This is the same method as transferring pictures stored in the camera’s memory; see “Getting Images and Sound With Image Expert” on page 3-6.

Use a PCMCIA adapter, which allows you to access the images on SmartMedia cards directly from your computer.
