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
h
When storing
xD-Picture Card
s, make sure that
they are kept out of the reach of children. An
xD-
Picture Card
could be swallowed cause suffocation.
If a child swallows an
xD-Picture Card
, seek
medical attention or call emergency number right
away.
h
When inserting the
xD-Picture Card
into the
camera, hold the
xD-Picture Card
straight as you
push it in.
h
Do not expose an
xD-Picture Card
to shock. Do not
apply pressure, and avoid bending.
h
Do not use or store
xD-Picture Card
in hot humid
places.
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 S3100 / FinePix S3500.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
xD-Picture Card
s 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 taking 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 formatting 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.
h
Do not copy files other than those that will be used
by the camera.
