Notes on using media
Note
The following apply to all media except “Memory
Stick”.
For details about “Memory Stick”, see page 20.
• Before using any data storage media, be sure to
carefully read its user manual.
• When you purchase media, you must first initialize it
with a digital camera. If you initialize the media with
a personal computer or any device other than a digital
camera, this unit may not be able to read the image
data stored on the media.
• Do not attempt to use any media that is not specified
for use with this unit. Doing so could damage this unit.
• Do not strike, bend, or drop the media.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the media.
• Do not get the media wet.
• Because the media are vulnerable to humidity, we
recommend that such media not be used under humid
conditions.
• Avoid storing or using media under the following
conditions:
– In a hot location, such as inside a car or outside on a
very hot day.
– In direct sunlight.
– In a humid location or where corrosion occurs
easily.
– In a location where the media could be exposed to
electrostatic discharge or electronic noise.
• Do not touch the contacts on a SmartMedia card, SD
card, or MultiMediaCard with your hands or bare
metal.
• Always keep the media in its case when carrying or
storing it.
• When using a CompactFlash card, SmartMedia card,
SD card, or MultiMediaCard, insert the media directly
into the corresponding slot. Do not insert a
SmartMedia card or other media into the
CompactFlash card adapter. Doing so could cause the
image data stored in the card to be deleted or damaged.
• Always make sure that the media is oriented correctly
before inserting it in the appropriate slot of the
UPA-PC105. Inserting any media in the wrong
direction may damage the UPA-PC105 and/or media
and cause malfunctions.
• Do not remove the media or turn off this unit while
data is being written to the media. Doing so could
cause the data that is being recorded to be deleted or
damaged.
