• Data for a maximum of 36 exposures can be stored in each
film area.
• 2 and 4MB SmartMedia cards have the same capacity
because they have the same number of data clusters. A
similar situation exists between 8 and 16MB SmartMedia
cards.
• Recording and formatting takes longer with 8 and 16MB
SmartMedia cards.
SmartMedia cards not included with this unit
need to be properly formatted for this device. See
page 28 to format SmartMedia cards for use in
the DM-9.
Reformat RM-2S and RM-4S SmartMedia cards
distributed by Minolta before trying to record data using
