Notes on Media

■SmartMedia

SmartMedia are a new recording media developed specifically for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a semiconductor memory chip (NAND-type flash memory) which is used to record digital image data.

Because the data is recorded electrically, recorded data can be erased and re-recorded.

■SmartMedia with ID

SmartMedia ID (SmartMedia with ID) are SmartMedia that have been assigned individual ID numbers. SmartMedia ID cards can be used in devices with features that use IDs for applications such as copyright protection. SmartMedia ID cards can be used on the FinePix S1 Pro in the same way as conventional SmartMedia cards.

■Microdrive

Microdrive are the smallest and lightest hard disk drive and conform to the CF Type II extended standard for CompactFlash. Because Microdrive can hold large numbers of recorded images and represent a very low cost per megabyte, they allow more economical recording of high- quality images.

■Data Retention

In the following situations, recorded data may be erased (or corrupted). Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses incurred as a result of data being erased or corrupted.

*If the media is used improperly by the customer or by a third party

*If the media is affected by static electricity or electrical interference

*If the media is removed or the device is switched off while data is being recorded onto or erased from the media (including formatting)

*If the media is bent or dropped, or subjected to strong impacts.

Important data should be backed up on to another media (MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.).

■Notes on handling media (all types)

•When inserting the media, hold it straight as you slide it in.

•Never remove the media or switch the camera off during data recording, during data erasing (formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back. These actions could result in damage to the media.

•Media are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject media to excessive shocks.

•Do not use or store media in environments likely to be affected by strong static electricity, electrical noise or magnetic fields.

•Do not use or store media in very hot, humid or corrosive environments.

■Notes on handling SmartMedia

•Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the FinePix S1 Pro. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.

•Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area (gold-colored area) or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

•To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use the special static-free case provided during transportation or storage. Keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available.

•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.
