Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

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 formatted by a PC, be sure to format
the card with your digital camera before using it.

Protecting Your Data

h 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 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 Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO

disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

Handling xD-Picture Card

h 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.

h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera,

hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.

h xD-Picture Card are precision electronic devices.

Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the xD-
Picture Card
to strong force or shocks.

h Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid

places or in places where they are exposed to
corrosive substances.

h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of

cloth when dirty.

h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep

it in the special protective case.

h 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.

h 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.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

the FinePix A330/FinePix A340.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
an xD-Picture Card other than those manufactured
by FUJIFILM are used.

h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is

removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.

h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling

labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

h When you take pictures using an xD-Picture Card

that has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-
Picture Card
using your camera for best quality.

h When you format an xD-Picture Card, a directory

(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file

names on the xD-Picture Card because 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

and edit the copy.

h Do not copy files other than those that will be used

by the camera.
