Notes on the xD-Picture Card™■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 formatted by a PC, be sure to format
the card with your digital camera before using it.
■Protecting Your Data
hImages and movies 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.
hSave your important data to another media (i.e., MO
disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
■Handling xD-Picture Card
hWhen storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that
they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-
Picture Cardcould be swallowed cause suffocation.
If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek
medical attention or call emergency number right
away.
hWhen inserting the xD-Picture Card into the
camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you
push it in.
hDo not expose an xD-Picture Cardto shock. Do not
apply pressure, and avoid bending.
hDo not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid
places.
hClean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of
cloth when dirty.
hWhen carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep
it in the special protective case.
hThe xD-Picture Cardwill work well for long time, but
will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.
hNever remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the
camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Cardformatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.
hThe use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
the FinePix S3100 / FinePix S3500.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
xD-Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.
hThe xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is
removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.
hDo not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling
labels can cause the camera not to work properly.
■Using xD-Picture Cardwith a PC
hWhen taking pictures using an xD-Picture Cardthat
has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture
Cardusing your camera for best quality.
hWhen formatting an xD-Picture Card, a directory
(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.
hDo 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.
hAlways use the camera to erase image data on an
xD-Picture Card.
hTo edit image data, copy the image data to the PC
and edit the copy.
hDo not copy files other than those that will be used
by the camera.
