NOTE
When a storage card is installed, you may notice a delay between
the time you press the shutter button and when the camera
beeps. To avoid blurring, hold the camera still until it beeps.
Removing a Storage Card
Make sure the camera is turned off. Then open the cover to
the storage card slot and gently pull out the storage card.
When you are not using your SmartMedia card, always store
it in its case or inside the camera to avoid damaging it.
CAUTION
Never remove the card while the camera is accessing it. Data in
the card may be lost or damaged. Avoid using or storing the card
in dusty places, in direct sunlight, or in hot or humid places.
Transferring Images and Sound to
Your Computer
There are two ways you can transfer the pictures and sound
on a SmartMedia card to your computer:
◗
Use the serial port on your computer. This is the same
method as transferring pictures stored in the camera’s
memory; see “Getting Images and Sound With Image
Expert” on page 3-6.
◗
Use a PCMCIA adapter, which allows you to access the
images on SmartMedia cards directly from your
computer.
