■SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix A201
camera is a new image recording medium developed
especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia
card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip
(NAND flash memory) which is used for storing digital
image data.
Because the data is stored electronically, the stored
image data can be erased from the card and new data
recorded.

■SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an
individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia
ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers
for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera
accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as
conventional SmartMedia cards.

■Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be
erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film
Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the
loss (destruction) of recorded data.
✽When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the

owner or a third party

✽When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity

or electrical noise

✽When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the

SmartMedia removed and the camera is then
switched off during data recording, during data
erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame
advance when images are being played back.

Back up important data onto another medium.
(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.)

■Notes on Handling SmartMedia

h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you

load it into your camera.

h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera

off during data recording, during data erasing
