• Using the SMC (SmartMedia™ Card)

Your camera comes with 8MB of built-in Nand flash memory for storing

pictures, audio clips and video clips as you record them. You can expand

the memory using a commercially available SMC (up to 128MB). The

camera senses whether a memory card is inserted, and automatically

saves pictures, audio clips or video clips accordingly. Note that you

cannot save pictures, audio clips or video clips to the built-in Nand flash

memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

IMPORTANT!

• Files contained in the SMC card recorded by other cameras may conflict

with the PDC 3030 camera, and valuable data in your existing SMC card

may be distorted or lost when the card is inserted in the PDC 3030 camera.

We strongly recommend the user to use a NEW or formatted SMC card for

the SMC camera. We will not guarantee any valuable data or files (other

than PDC 3030 camera’s) in your SMC card.

• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory

card.

• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a

memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.

Memory card precautions:

1. Use only a SMC memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not

guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause

data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back

up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).

3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal

operation by formatting it. However, we recommend that you always

take along with you more than one memory card whenever using the

camera far away from your home or office.

4. We recommend that you format a memory card when using it for the

first time, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of

abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used

in another digital camera or other devices.
