Data may be irrecoverably lost or the SmartMedia
card damaged if the settings are changed when the
DM-9 is not powered by the camera batteries (ex
back open, DM-9 not mounted)
The DM-9 can use 2 , 4, 8 or 16MB, 3.3 or 5V
SmartMedia cards. The storage capacity of these cards is
listed in the table below.
Card Size Card Capacity
2MB 400
4MB 400
8MB 900
16MB 900
• Data for a maximum of 36 exposures can be stored in each
film area.
• 2 and 4MB SmartMedia cards have the same capacity
because they have the same number of data clusters. A
similar situation exists between 8 and 16MB SmartMedia
cards.
• Recording and formatting takes longer with 8 and 16MB
SmartMedia cards.
SmartMedia cards not included with this unit
need to be properly formatted for this device. See
page 28 to format SmartMedia cards for use in
the DM-9.
Reformat RM-2S and RM-4S SmartMedia cards
distributed by Minolta before trying to record data using
this device (p. 28). These cards have been specially
formatted for use in the Minolta Dimâge V digital camera.
