Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ and the Internal Memory
Z Image Memory Card
• 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.
• When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card
that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format the
card with your digital camera before using it.
Z Internal Memory
• Images held in the camera’s internal memory may be
corrupted or erased due to problems such as camera
faults. Save your important data to another media (i.e.,
MO disk, CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
• Data stored in the camera’s internal memory cannot be
guaranteed in the event that the camera is submitted for
repairs.
• When the camera is repaired, any data stored in the
camera’s internal memory is subject to checking by the
repairer.
Z Protecting Your Data
• Images and movies 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 or internal memory is being
accessed (i.e., during record, erase, initialization, and
playback operations).
2.Improper handling and use of the memory card or
internal memory by the user or third party.
MEMO
Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk,
CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
Z Handling xD-Picture Card
• When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they
are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture
Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child
swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention
or call emergency number right away.
• When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera,
hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.
• Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not
apply pressure, and avoid bending.
• Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot and humid
places.
• Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth
when dirty.
• When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in
the special protective case.
• The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but will
sooner or later lose its ability to store and play back
images or movies. If this happens replace it with a new
xD-Picture Card.
• Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the camera
off during data recording or erasing (xD-Picture Card
formatting) as this could be damaged to the xD-Picture
Card.
• The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with
FinePix A600.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-
Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.
