5.7 The Album does not react to the connection of a USB
disk or an SD card, why?
If you connect an SD card as well as a USB disk to the
Album, the USB disk has a higher priority and the SD
card is ignored.
To work with a USB disk or an SD card, the memory
device must be formatted (FAT32 format). The factory
setting of such memory devices usually includes such
formatting. It is possible to format a memory device by
means of a computer or a digital camera.

5.8 Does your camera use a micro SD card?

Some cameras (especially in mobile phones) use an SD
card which has smaller physical dimensions. Such a
card can be connected to the Album using a reduction
piece which is either included with the micro SD card or
can be bought separately.

5.9 Is it possible to connect an XD card to the Album?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect an XD card tot
eh Album. Its use is restricted by the license policy
of the Fuji (Olympus) company. There are XD card to USB
interface reductions on the market. However, such
reduction pieces usually have no Fuji license and their
use is not guaranteed.
The cameras which use XD cards must be connected to
the Album using the USB cable.

5.10 Is the battery-powered operation time short?

To work correctly in the battery-powered mode, the
Album's battery must be fully charged. Check the battery
condition by plugging in the power adaptor. If the indica-
tor located next to the adapter connector blinks in red,
the charging is in progress. The battery is fully charged
as soon as the red indicator lights permanently. The
battery-powered operation time is becomes shorter with
the higher level of the screen brightness that you set. T
The battery-powered operation time gets also shorter
while operating the Album at low temperatures (in
winter).
If the battery is running low, the screen will display the
red battery symbol and the screen brightness is
reduced. In such a case, we recommend you to connect
the power adapted.
5.11 The computer does not work with the connected
Album, why?
If the switched-on Album does not appear as a USB disk
(mass storage device) after a while when connected
to a computer using a USB cable, your computer might
not have the necessary software support installed.
5.12 Is it possible to store data other than photographs in
the Album?
The album operates like a standard USB disk. It can be
used to store any data (e.g. by means of a computer)
similarly to a USB disk. The Album ignores all data other
than JPG photographs.
Be careful, if you store large volume of other data in the
Album, the capacity for photographs will be reduced.
If you perform a CLEAN-UP (see ADVANCED SETTINGS
menu) in the Album, all data other than JPG
photographs (even if marked "read only") is deleted.

5.13 Can I display other formats in the Album than JPG?

If you want to view photographs or documents in other
formats (e.g. TIFF, GIF, BMP, etc.), use a suitable
program in your computer to convert them into the JPG
format (saving must be done in classic JPG format, not
the progressive one). Only then transfer the photographs
to the Album. Perform the conversion to have the final
photographs of about 1 MB in size maximum.

5.14 Which type of cameras does the Album work with?

The Album works with photographs of the JPG format
(classic, not progressive). Be careful, this format has
historically had many standards and not all of them are
compatible. If the Album displays a question mark
instead of a photograph, this means you have a data-in-
compatible photograph format or the data in that file has
been damaged.
It is not recommended to use photographs of much larger
size than 1 MB in the Album. Processing very large
photographs may be slow, or they will be ignored by the
Album.
