■Image Memory Card
hThis Image Memory Card is a new image recording
media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital
cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a
semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory)
to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed and
enables erasure of existing image data as well as re-
recording of new image data.
hWhen using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card
that has been initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize
(format/initialize) the card with your digital camera
before using it.
■Protecting Your Data
hData may be lost or destroyed in the following
situations. Please note that FUJIFILM assumes no
responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.
1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).
2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.
hWe recommend saving your important data to
another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
■Notes on Handling xD-Picture Card
hKeep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small
children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, ensure that
they are kept in a location out of the reach of small
children to prevent a card being accidentally
swallowed. An xD-Picture Card could cause
suffocation if accidentally swallowed. If a child
swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical advice
immediately.
hMake sure that the memory card is straight when you
insert into the camera etc.
hThe memory card is a precision electronic
instrument. Do not apply pressure or shock, and
avoid bending.
hDo not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or
corrosive environment.
hIf the contact area on the card is soiled (dust,
fingerprints, etc.), wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
hClean the memory card with a soft dry piece of cloth
when dirty.
hWhen you carry or store it, always keep the card in
the anti-static case provided. Use a storage case if
available.
hThe memory card can be used reliably for a long
period of time, but will eventually lose its ability to
store and play back image data. At this point, replace
with a new memory card.
hNever remove the xD-Picture Card or switch the
camera off during data recording, during data erasing
(xD-Picture Card formatting) or during frame advance
when images are being played back. These actions
