Image Memory Card
• 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.
• 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.
