Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Image Memory Card

h

This Image Memory Card is a new image recording
media (

xD-Picture Card

) developed for digital

cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a
semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory)
to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed and
enables erasure of existing image data as well as re-
recording of new image data.

h

When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card
that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format
the card with your digital camera before using it.

Protecting Your Data

h

Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the
following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM
assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or
destroyed.
1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power

off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by

the user or third party. 

h

Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO
disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

Handling

xD-Picture Card

s, make sure that

they are kept out of the reach of children. An

If a child swallows an 

xD-Picture Card

, seek

medical attention or call emergency number right
away.

h

Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the 

xD-

to strong force or shocks.

h

Do not use or store 

xD-Picture Card

places or in places where they are exposed to
corrosive substances.

h

Clean the 

xD-Picture Card

with a soft dry piece of

cloth when dirty.

h

When carrying or storing an 

xD-Picture Card

, keep

it in the special protective case.

h

The 

xD-Picture Card

will work well for long time, but

will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new 

xD-Picture Card

.

h

Never remove the 

xD-Picture Card

or turn the

camera off during data recording or erasing (

xD-

Picture Card

formatting) as this could be damaged

to the 

xD-Picture Card

.

h

The use of 

xD-Picture Card

s is recommended with

the FinePix A605.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
an 

xD-Picture Card

other than those manufactured

by FUJIFILM are used.

h

The 

xD-Picture Card

may feel warm when it is

removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.

h

Do not put labels on the 

xD-Picture Card

. Peeling

labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

Using 

xD-Picture Card

with a PC

h

When you take pictures using an 

xD-Picture Card

that has been used on a PC, reformat the 

xD-

Picture Card

using your camera for best quality.

h

When you format an 

xD-Picture Card

, a directory

(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.

h

Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file
names on the 

xD-Picture Card

because this will

make it impossible to use the 

xD-Picture Card

in

your camera.

h

Always use the camera to erase image data on an

xD-Picture Card

.

h

To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC
and edit the copy.
