Olympus 1GB xD Picture Card Type M
Olympus
xD Picture Cards, (xD stands for "extreme digital"), are ultra-compact memory cards, developed by Fujifilm and
Olympus specifically for use in digital cameras. Olympus xD cards offer capacities ranging from 256MB to
2GB. The 2GB xD cards are due for release in September 2006.
The xD-Picture Card Type M 2GB will be compatible with Olympus's latest range of compact digital cameras
and all future models launched.  Type H and Type M xD cards are more recent additions to the original
xD Picture Cards. The new card uses high-density MLC (Multi Level Cell) memory technology to achieve its 2GB
storage capacity, which it packs into a compact 20mm x 25mm x 1.7mm form. Storage capacity is predicted to
continue growing and MLC technology has the potential to deliver up to 8GB of storage capacity in a single card.
These Olympus 1GB Type M cards offer higher performance and meet the demands of new camera technologies
that deliver larger image files and have the ability to record high-quality movie footage. As well as the potential for
large capacities, xD picture cards have a high read/write performance and are only 2 grams in weight.
xD-Picture Cards Type M and Type H enable high storage capacities to be achieved at lower cost per megabyte.
Using new, compressed methods of digital data storage, higher capacities are achievable with minimal impact on
read and write times. Types M and H xD cards use different methods of digital encoding, however, their identical
operating specifications make them fully interchangeable.
Olympus xD cards are the only xD cards that support the exclusive Olympus Panorama Function.
NOTE: Owners of Older Fuji and Olympus Digital Cameras should check you Cameras Specifications to ensure
your camera can support the new 2GB XD Cards.

Important: DO NOT format, copy files to or erase pictures from an xD card via a card
reader/writer connected to a computer.  This should only be done via the camera connected directly to
a computer. xD-Picture cards are specially formatted with certain proprietary tags and flags. Formatting or
otherwise altering the contents of the card via a card reader/writer connected to a computer will render the card
unusable in a camera or erase the special Olympus signature to enable panoramic mode.
