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.
Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser
pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive
force when you sit down, therefore damaging the
SmartMedia.
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.
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.
Affix the label onto the designated area of the card. Do
not use third-party labels as this can lead to problems
when the card is inserted or removed.
When you attach the label, take care that it does not
cover any of the write-protect area.

Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that has
been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on your
camera.
When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and then
shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is
automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this
directory.
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.
Always use the camera to erase image data on a
SmartMedia.
To edit image data, copy the image data to the
computers hard disk and then edit the copied data.

SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix2300
camera is a new image recording medium developed
especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia
card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip (NAND
flash memory) which is used for storing digital image data.
Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image
data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.

SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an
individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID
cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for
copyright protection or other purposes. This camera
accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as
conventional SmartMedia cards.

Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased
(destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.
accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss
(destruction) of recorded data.
When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or
a third party
When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or
electrical noise
When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the
SmartMedia removed and the camera is then switched
Notes on the SmartMediaTM
off during data recording, during data erasing
(SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when
images are being played back.
Back up important data onto another medium
(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.).

Notes on Handling SmartMedia

When inserting the card into the camera, hold the
SmartMedia straight as you push it in.
Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off
during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia
formatting) or during frame advance when images are
being played back. These actions could result in damage
to the SmartMedia.
Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the
FinePix2300. The use of other SmartMedia could
damage the camera.
SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not
bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive shocks.
Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments likely to
be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.
Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or
corrosive environments.
Be careful not to touch the SmartMedias contact area or
allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth
to wipe away any soiling that does occur.
