The SmartMedia card supplied with your PDR-M3 camera is a new image recording
medium developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains
a built-in semiconductor memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing
digital image data.
Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image data can be erased from the
card and new data recorded.
Storing Data
In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased (destroyed). Please note that
Toshiba Corporation accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of
recorded data.
* When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or a third party
* When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or electrical noise
* When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the SmartMedia removed and the camera is
then switched off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting)
or during frame advance when images are being played back.
Back up important data onto another medium (MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk,
etc.).
H Handling SmartMedia
© When inserting the card into the camera, hold the SmartMedia straight as you push it
in.
© Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off during data recording, during
data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being
played back. These actions could result in damage to the SmartMedia.
@ Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the PDR-M3. The use of other
SmartMedia could damage the camera.
@ SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject
SmartMedia to excessive shocks.
® Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments likely to be affected by strong static
electricity or electrical noise.
© Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or corrosive environments.
@ Take care not to touch the SmartMedia's contact area or allow the area to become
soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.
© To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use the special static-free case
provided during transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if
available.
® Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the
SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.
© The SmartMedia 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.
© inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may
result in a camera malfunction. if this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again.
