Olympus 256MB xD Picture Card
Olympus
The xD Picture Card, (xD stands for "extreme digital"), is a new type of ultra-compact memory card that has been
developed jointly by Fujifilm and Olympus. It was introduced in July 2002 to meet the demands of new
camera technologies that deliver larger image files and has 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.
Olympus xD Picture Cards are the only xD cards that support the Panorama function found on most Olympus
digital cameras. All Olympus xD cards are compatible with Fuji xD digital cameras. Olympus xD-Picture
Cards - the most advanced digital media cards ever for the best digital images yet!
This 256MB card is the Standard xD Card using Single Level Cell Technology as opposed to the Type M xD Card
which uses Multi Level Cell Technology.

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.
