Possible cause Solution

■A warning message appeared when I took the camera out of the cradle

or disconnected the USB cable.

Did you remove the camera or
disconnect the USB cable while the
camera was still mounted as a disk
drive?
Performing these operations while the
camera is still mounted as a disk drive
can damage the SmartMedia or corrupt
the data on the SmartMedia. Always
select the drive and then select “Eject”
from the “Special” menu or drag the drive
icon to the Trash before you remove the
camera from the cradle or disconnect the
USB cable.
