Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

■Image Memory Card

h This 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.

h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

■Protecting Your Data

■Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

h When you take pictures using an xD-Picture Card that has been used on a PC, reformat the xD- Picture Card using your camera for best quality.

h When you format an xD-Picture Card, a directory (folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file names on the xD-Picture Card because this will make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in your camera.
