Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ and the Internal Memory

ZImage Memory Card

•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.

•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.

ZInternal Memory

•Images held in the camera’s internal memory may be corrupted or erased due to problems such as camera faults. Save your important data to another media (i.e., DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

•Data stored in the camera’s internal memory cannot be guaranteed in the event that the camera is submitted for repairs.

•When the camera is repaired, any data stored in the camera’s internal memory is subject to checking by the repairer.

ZProtecting Your Data

•Images 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 or internal memory is being accessed (i.e., during record, erase, initialization, and playback operations).

2.Improper handling and use of the memory card or internal memory by the user or third party.

MEMO

Save your important data to another media (i.e., DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

ZHandling xD-Picture Card

•When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention or call emergency number right away.

•When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.

•Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not apply pressure, and avoid bending.

•Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot and humid places.•Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth when dirty.

•When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in the special protective case.

•The xD-Picture Card will 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.

•Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged to the xD-Picture Card.

•The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with FinePix S6000fd / FinePix S6500fd.

The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD- Picture Cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM are used.
