Notes on the SmartMedia

™

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to
excessive force when you sit down, thereby
damaging the SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia 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 Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static

electricity into your camera may result in a camera
malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and
then on again.

h Affix the label onto the designated area of the card.

Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to
problems when the card is inserted or removed.

h When you attach the label, take care that it does not

cover any of the write-protect area.

■Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on
your camera.

h When you format a SmartMedia 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 SmartMedia from your PC as this
will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your
camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a

SmartMedia.

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 will be used by the

camera.

Be sure to use your PC’s disk eject function
(right-click the removable disk icon in the “My
Computer” window and then click “Eject”) when
you eject a SmartMedia from the PC card reader
or PC card adapter.
When you are using a USB connection, you
should also select and left-click the eject button
for “USB disc/mass storage” in the taskbar.
If you do not use the correct eject procedure,
the SmartMedia may be damaged due to write-
behind cashing.
