• Image 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 anew Memory Card, ora Memory Card
that has been initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize
(format/initialize) the card with your digital camera
before using it.
•Microdrives
Microdrives are compact, lightweight hard disk drives
that conform tothe CF+ Type l] standard. Due to their
ample capacity for large image data files and their low
per-megabyte recording cost, Microdrives provide a
more economical way to save high-resolution image
files.
•Protecting Your Data
• Data 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.
oWe recommend saving your important data to
another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
•General Notes on Handling Media (all types)
• When inserting the media into the camera hold the
media straight as you push it in.
oNever remove the media or turn the camera off
during data recording or erasing (media formatting)
as this could result indamage tothe media.
• Data storage media are precision electronic devices.
Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the media to
strong force or shocks.
oDo not use or store these media in environments
likely to be affected by strong static electricity or
electrical noise.
oDo not use or store media in locations subject to
high temperatures and humidity or in environments
where they are exposed tocorrosive substances.
•Notes on Handling xD-Picture Card
• Keep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach ofsmall
children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, ensure
that they are kept in alocation 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.
oThe memory card is a precision electronic
instrument. Do not apply pressure or shock, and
avoid bending.
oDo not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or
corrosive environment.
elf the contact area on the card is soiled (dust,
fingerprints, etc.), wipe itclean with a soft, dry cloth.
• Clean the memory card with a soft dry piece ofcloth
when dirty.
oxD-Picture Cards should be kept in their special
cases or carrying cases when being stored or
carried around.
oThe 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.
• The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
the FinePix $7000.
The camera quality cannot be guaranteed when
cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM
are used.
eThe xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is
removed from the camera after extended periods of
picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and
does not indicate afault.
• Do not affix labels tothe xD-Picture Card.
This could result in the label peeling off and causing
afault when the card isinserted or removed.
•Notes on using Microdrive
•Do not use hard-pointed pens such as ballpoint
pens to write on the Microdrive label.
• Do not peel off the Microdrive label.
• Do not stick additional labels onto a Microdrive.
• When carrying or storing aMicrodrive, keep it in the
protective case provided.
eWhen a Microdrive is used, vibration or impacts
during image data recording may prevent the image
data from being recorded correctly. Put the camera
down carefully when placing it on adesk or table,
etc.
eDo notuse Microdrive inCF+ Type ]] slots that do
not have an eject function.
• Take care when handling Microdrive that have been
used for long periods asthey may become hot.
• Do not place Microdrives close to strong magnetic
fields.
• Keep Microdrive dry.
eDo not apply strong pressure to the Microdrive
cover.
•Notes on Using media with aPC
• If you intend totake photos using a media that has
been used on a PC, format the media on your
camera.
oWhen you format a media in the camera and then
shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is
automatically created. Image data is then recorded
inthis directory.
• Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names
or file names on the media from your PC as this will
make itimpossible to use the media in your camera.
• Always use the camera to erase image data on a
media.
• Toedit image data, copy the image data tothe PC's
hard disk and then edit the copied data.
• Do not copy files other than those that will be used
by the camera.
