• Using the SMC (SmartMedia™ Card)

Your camera comes with 8MB of built-in Nand flash memory for storing pictures, audio clips and video clips as you record them. You can expand the memory using a commercially available SMC (up to 128MB). The camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures, audio clips or video clips accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures, audio clips or video clips to the built-in Nand flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• Files contained in the SMC card recorded by other cameras may conflict with the PDC 3030 camera, and valuable data in your existing SMC card may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the PDC 3030 camera. We strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SMC card for the SMC camera. We will not guarantee any valuable data or files (other than PDC 3030 camera’s) in your SMC card.

Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.

Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.

Memory card precautions:

1.Use only a SMC memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

2.Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).

3.If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by formatting it. However, we recommend that you always take along with you more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from your home or office.

4.We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the first time, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.
