JVC GC-S5 manual Storing Data

Notes on Using SmartMedia

■Storing Data

●In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased (destroyed). Please note that JVC accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of recorded data.

•When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or a third party

•When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or electrical noise

•When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the SmartMedia is removed and the camera is then switched off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back.

●Back up important data onto another medium (MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.).

■Notes on Handling SmartMedia

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

●Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the GC-S5. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.

●SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive shocks.

●Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments likely to be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.

●Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or corrosive environments.

●Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact 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, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available.

●Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.

●The SmartMedia 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 a fault.

●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.
