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 initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize
(format/initialize) the card with your digital camera
before using it.
■
Protecting Your Data
h
Data 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
For your safety, store important data to another
media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
■
Notes on Handling
xD-Picture Card
h
Keep
xD-Picture Card
s out of the reach of small
children. When storing
xD-Picture Card
s, ensure
that they are kept in a location out of the reach of
small children to prevent a card being accidentally
swallowed. An
xD-Picture Card
could cause
suffocation if accidentally swallowed. If a child
swallows an
xD-Picture Card
, seek medical advice
immediately.
h
Make sure that the memory card is straight when
you insert into the camera etc.
h
The memory card is a precision electronic
instrument. Do not apply pressure or shock, and
avoid bending.
h
Do not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or
corrosive environment.
h
If the contact area on the card is soiled (dust,
fingerprints, etc.), wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.
h
Clean the memory card with a soft dry piece of cloth
when dirty.
h
When carrying or storing
xD-Picture Card
s, keep
them in the protective cases provided.
h
The memory card can be used reliably for a long
period of time, but will eventually lose its ability to
store and play back image data. At this point,
replace with a new memory card.
h
Never remove the
xD-Picture Card
or turn the
camera off during data recording, during data
erasing (
xD-Picture Card
formatting) or during
frame advance when images are being played back.
These actions could result in damage to the
xD-
Picture Card
.
h
Always use
xD-Picture Card
s with the FinePix F420.
The camera quality cannot be guaranteed when
cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM
are used.
h
The
xD-Picture Card
may feel warm when it is
removed from the camera after extended periods of
picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and
does not indicate a fault.
h
Do not affix labels to the
xD-Picture Card
.
This could result in the label peeling off and causing
a fault when the card is inserted or removed.
■
Notes on Using
xD-Picture Card
with a
PC
h
If you intend to take photos using an
xD-Picture
Card
that has been used on a PC, format the
xD-
Picture Card
on your camera.
h
When you format an
xD-Picture Card
in the camera
and then shoot and record images, a directory
(folder) is automatically created. Image data is then
recorded in this directory.
h
Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names
or file names on the
xD-Picture Card
from your PC
as 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’s
hard disk and then edit the copied data.
h
Do not copy files other than those that have shot by
the camera.
