About SmartMedia (continued)
• Take care not to touch the SmartMedia's electrodes (metal contacts) or allow the electrodes to become
soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any dirt.
• To avoid damage caused by static electricity during transportation or storage, always use the special
static-free case provided.
• If you are not using the camera for a long period of time, remove the SmartMedia and store it in a safe
place.
• Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may cause it to
malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera OFF and then ON again.
• The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after the camera is used for a
long time. This is normal and not a malfunction.
• The SmartMedia has a limited service life. If images can no longer be written or erased, buy a new
SmartMedia.
• Use the index labels provided with the camera. If you attach a commercially available label, it may
cause a malfunction when the SmartMedia is loaded or removed.
