Notes on using the PC card adapter
Caution
Do not remove the accessory PC card adapter or the SD memory card
while the computer is accessing the SD memory card for reading or
writing.
B If this is not observed, the data on the card may become corrupted or
erased.
Do not install the accessory PC card adapter to any device other than a
PC card slot.
B If this is not observed, damage to the device may result. Before installing
the accessory PC card adapter, check that the card slot on the device
being used is a PC card (PCMCIA) Type II or Type III card slot.
Do not insert any foreign objects into the card slot of the accessory PC

What is the SD memory card?
The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory which at 24 mm x 32 mm x 2.1 mm is
about the size of a postage stamp. It is a next-generation recording medium which can
be used instead of conventional storage devices such as MDs (mini discs), CDs
(compact discs) and cassette tapes. In addition, it allows data to be repeatedly recorded, played and erased. The SD memory card can be used to store computer image
files, video images (still pictures) and presentations created using Microsoft PowerPoint
which have been converted into JPEG images using the accessory JPEG Convertor
software, letting you make "PC-free" presentations using just the LCD projector.

Notes on handling the SD memory card
Be sure to read the following before
using the accessory SD memory
card.
Front
Notes on handling
Be sure to observe the following.
B Do not disassemble or modify
the card.
B Do not subject the card to
strong shocks, and do not twist
it, bend it, drop it, step on it or
immerse it in liquids.
B Do not rub the card with cloth or plastic, or bring it close to objects which
may generate static charges or magnetic fields.
B Do not touch the metal terminals with hands or metal objects, attach
stickers to them, or allow them to become contaminated in any way.
B Do not remove the attached label from the card.
B Do not attach any other labels or stickers to the card.

Notes on storage
After removing the SD memory card from the projector or other device,
always insert it into its protective case.
B Do no leave the card inside hot vehicles or in other places with high
temperatures such as places exposed to direct sunlight.
B Do not leave the card in places which are exposed to substances such as
corrosive gases.
Protecting valuable data
B Do not turn off the projector power supply or remove the SD memory card
from the projector while the card is being accessed for reading or writing
(while the SD memory card access indicator inside the card slot cover at
the rear of the projector is flashing). Failure to observe this may result in
loss of data.
B Always make a backup of the data which is stored in the SD memory card.
Accidental mistakes in using the card may sometimes result in the loss of
valuable data.
7
Making backups of the data in the SD memory card
B Double-click on the drive icon (refer to page
15) for the SD memory card in My Computer
(or on the Desktop if you are using a
Macintosh), and then drag the DCIM directory
to the Desktop (while clicking the Option button
if you are using a Macintosh). This will create a
backup copy on your computer of all data in
the DCIM directory.
Write-protect switch
B If the write-protect switch on the SD memory card is moved to the LOCK
position, it will not be possible to capture images using a projector or to
use any file editing functions such as deleting or moving image files. (An
error message will be displayed if you try to use any of these functions.)
B If the SD memory card is inserted into a computer using the PC card
adapter while the write-protect switch is at the LOCK position, a blue
warning screen will be displayed when the computer attempts to access
the card. If this happens, press any key on the computer's keyboard to
clear the error display. Check that the write-protect switch is not at the
LOCK position when using the SD memory card in a computer.
Notes on using the projector
Be sure to observe the following.
B Do not drop the projector or subject it to strong shocks.
B Keep the projector dry at all times.
B Do not use excessive force when opening and closing the card slot cover.
B Do not use the card if it is cracked or bent.
B Do not use the projector in humid environments such as bathrooms, or in
dusty environment such as warehouses.
Please make sure that you understand the following before using the
SD memory card.
B Panasonic shall not be liable for any damage or losses suffered by the
user, either directly or through claims from a third party, arising from or
in connection with the use of or problems with the projector or the SD
memory card.
B Panasonic shall not be liable for any damage or losses suffered by the
user arising from loss of data stored on the SD memory card.

Explanation of terms
Following are definitions for some of the terms used throughout these Operating Instructions.
PowerPoint
Application software for creating presentations which is included as part of
Microsoft Office. 95, 97 and 2000 versions are available, but the JPEG
Convertor software which is bundled with
the projector is only compatible with the
97 and 2000 versions.
JPEG
Abbreviation for Joint Photographic
Experts Group. JPEG is the name of an
international organisation which was
jointly established by the ISO and the
ITU-TS (formerly the CCIT), but the term
is normally used to refer to the specifications for the still picture compression
algorithm which was formulated by the
JPEG. This algorithm allows still images
such as photographs, single frames of
moving images and scanned images to
be compressed to up to 1/100th of their
original sizes. However, images which are
compressed in this way cannot be fully
restored to their original quality (some
deterioration in quality occurs), so that
compression rates of 1/5 to 1/30 are
normally used. Because of differences in
colour separation, two format sub-types
are used: RGB (red, green and blue) and
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).
The projector and the JPEG Convertor
software do not support the CMYK subtype of JPEG file.
BMP
Abbreviation for BitMaP. This is the
standard image format for the bitmapped
files (image files consisting of a collection
of dots) which are handled by Windows.
Colour levels of monochrome, 16 colours,
256 colours and 16.7 million colours are
supported.
RLE
Abbreviation for Run Length Encoding. It
can be used to achieve high rates of
compression for image files which contain
large areas of a single colour. RLE can be
used with monochrome, 16-colour and
256-colour BMP image files. (JPEG
Convertor does not support files compressed using RLE.)
TIFF
Abbreviation for Tagged-Image File
Format. This type of file is used to
exchange documents between computers. Colour levels of monochrome, 256
colours and 16.7 million colours are
supported. TIFF files in 16.7 million colour
format can include transparent colour.
LZW
Abbreviation for Lempel-Ziv-Welch. LZW
is a compression method used for TIFF
files, and is named thus because it was
developed by three people named
Lempel, Ziv and Welch. It compresses the
files by converting patterns within the
images into short codes. There is no
deterioration in image quality resulting
from compression, but high rates of
compression which are comparable to
JPEG files cannot be expected to be
obtained. (JPEG Convertor does not
support files compressed using LZW.)
DCF
Abbreviation for Design rule for Camera
File system. DCF is a standard which was
established by the Japan Electronic
Industry Development Association
(JEIDA) with the aim of realising a
common image file format, directory
name format and file name format for the
images used with digital still cameras. It is
based on recommendations such as Exif
Version 2.1.
Exif 2.1
Abbreviation for Exchangeable Image File
Format. This is an image file format which
was established by the Japan Electronic
Industry Development Association
(JEIDA). It defines the common information format and range of application for
images used with digital still cameras,
centring around TIFF and JPEG-format
images. Version 2.1 is the latest version of
the Exif standard.
