Notes on the Media
■ Image Memory Card
hThis 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.
h 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.
■ Microdrives
Microdrives are compact, lightweight hard disk drives that
conform to the CF+ Type II standard. Due to their ample
capacity for large image data files and their low per-
megabyte recording cost, Microdrives provide a more
economical way to save high-resolution image files.
■ Protecting Your Data
h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the
following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM assumes
no responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.
1.
Removal of the memory card or turning the power off
while the memory card is being accessed (i.e., during
record, erase, initialization, and playback operations).
2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by the
user or third party.
h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk,
CD-R, hard disk, etc.).
■
Handling Media (all types)
h When inserting the media into the camera, hold the
media straight as you push it in.
h Never remove the media or turn the camera off during
data recording or erasing (media formatting) as this could
be damaged to the media.
h Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the media to
strong force or shocks.
h Do not use or store these media in places with affected
by strong static electricity or electrical noise.
h Do not use or store media in hot humid places or in
places where they are exposed to corrosive substances.
■ Handling xD-Picture Card
h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they are
kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture Card
could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child swallows
an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention or call
emergency number right away.
h Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not
apply pressure, and avoid bending.
h
Do not use the xD-Picture Card in a hot or humid place.
h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth
when dirty.
h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in
the special protective case.
h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but will
sooner or later lose its ability to store and play back
images or movies. If this happens replace it with a new
xD-Picture Card.
h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with the
FinePix S9100 / FinePix S9600.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-
Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.
h The xD-Picture Cardmay feel warm when it is removed
from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.
h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling labels
can cause the camera not to work properly.
There are two types of xD-Picture Card:
standard type and Type M (containing “M” in the model
number, such as DPC-M1GB).
FinePix S9100/ FinePix S9600 is compatible with Type
M, however they may no be compatible depending on
the device used (Image Memory Card Reader, etc.).
■ Using Microdrive
h Do not use hard-pointed pens to write on the Microdrive
label.
h Do not peel off the Microdrive label.
h Do not stick additional labels onto a Microdrive.
h When carrying or storing a Microdrive, keep it in the
protective case provided.
h When a Microdrive is used, vibration or impacts during
image data recording may prevent the image data from
being recorded correctly. Put the camera down carefully
when placing it on a desk or table, etc.
h Do not use Microdrive in CF+ Type II slots that do not
have an eject function.
h Take care when handling Microdrive that have been used
for long periods as they may become hot.
h Do not place Microdrives close to strong magnetic fields.
h Keep Microdrive dry.
h Do not apply strong pressure to the Microdrive cover.
■ Using Compact Flash
Contact the CompactFlash card manufacturer for
information on the CompactFlash functions, operation
details and system requirements.
Card types approved for use with the FinePix S9100 /
FinePix S9600 are listed on the FUJIFILM website.

h The CompactFlash card may be hot immediately after
being used in the camera and should be handled with
care.
h Do not touch the card contact area with your fingers or
metal objects.
h Unused CompactFlash cards should be formatted before
being used.
■ Using media with a PC
h When taking pictures using a media that has been used
on a PC, reformat the media using your camera for best
quality.
h When formatting a media, a directory (folder) is created.
Image data is then recorded in this directory.
h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file
names on the media because this will make it impossible
to use the media in your camera.
h Always use the camera to erase image data on a media.
h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC and
edit the copy.
