What is SmartMedia?
SmartMedia is a type of removable IC memory
card. With more memory than a floppy disk,
SmartMedia cards facilitate data exchange
with personal computers, and can be used to
store data. Optional SmartMedia cards are
available to add capacity as needed, in
addition to the included 8MB SmartMedia card.
When purchasing SmartMedia cards of
various memory capacities, specify 3 V
(3.3 V) SmartMedia cards (in memory sizes
of 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64MB) for the Olympus
CAMEDIA digital camera series.
