About SmartMedia

“SmartMedia” is a storage medium for saving images that you have photographed. Even if the camera’s power is turned OFF, the images saved on the SmartMedia are not erased. SmartMedia can be repeatedly read and written. SmartMedia having the following storage capacity can be used on your camera.

2MB /4MB/8MB (standard accessory)/16MB/32MB (all 3.3 V types)

You can also connect the PC card adapter and floppy disk adapter (➲ Page 97) sold separately to transfer images to a PC.

Notes on SmartMedia

•Recorded data may be erased (destroyed) in the situations listed below. Note that Toshiba Corporation accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of recorded data in these situations:

-When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the user or a third party

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

-When the SmartMedia is removed or the camera is then switched OFF during data recording, data erasing, frame advance when images are being played back or during formatting of the SmartMedia.

•We recommend copying and saving important data onto another storage medium (floppy disk, hard disk, MO disk, etc.).

•Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera OFF during data recording or during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting). These actions might damage the SmartMedia.

•Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the PDR-M4. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.

•SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive shocks. Also, do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This might subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, damaging the SmartMedia.

•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.
