About SmartMedia (continued)

Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s electrodes (metal contacts) or allow the electrodes to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any dirt.

To avoid damage caused by static electricity during transportation or storage, always use the special static-free case provided.

If you are not using the camera for a long period of time, remove the SmartMedia and store it in a safe place.

Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may cause it to malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera OFF and then ON again.

The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after the camera is used for a long time. This is normal and not a malfunction.

The SmartMedia has a limited service life. If images can no longer be written or erased, buy a new SmartMedia.

Use the index labels provided with the camera. If you attach a commercially available label, it may cause a malfunction when the SmartMedia is loaded or removed.
