I Inserting a Memory Card
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SO memory cards (sold separately) can
be used
to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, Ib appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal
memory to become
corrupted, the pictures
in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and
saved on
the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or OVOs. The pictures in
internal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 67). To prevent internal memory
from becoming full, be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
• Compatible Memory Cards
San Disk SO and SOHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A
complete list
of approved memory cards is available at http://wwwfujifilm.com/products/digitoL
comeros/index.html. Operation

MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.
~ Caution
Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record
or delete images. Before inserting amemory card, slide the write-protect switch

computer or other device. For more information on formatting
memory cards, see page 76.
•Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. Ifachild swallows a memory
card, seek medical assistance immediately.
•Do
not use miniSO or microSO adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe
this precaution may
cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than
the standard dimensions
of an SO card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject,
take the camera to

with some types of memory card.
•The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera

memory in the camera creates afolder in which pictures are stored.
