Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Notes on the Power Supply

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 Cards out of the reach of small

children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, 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 Cards, 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 Cards 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.
