Image Storage and Interface
The FinePix 2400 Zoom uses small, removable SmartMedia cards for image storage and comes packaged with an 8MB card. Additional cards are available in capacities of up to 64MB, and we strongly recommend purchasing one or two higher capacity cards, as the 8MB card holds only 10 images at the camera's highest resolution/quality setting.

The SmartMedia card itself can be write-protected by placing a small sticker in a designated spot on the card. This prevents anyone from writing to or deleting images from the card. Because each sticker must be clean to be effective, write protection stickers can only be used once.

Individual images can be protected from accidental erasure through the Playback menu. This does not protect images from being deleted if you format the card, however. The FinePix 2400 Zoom is set up to comply with the DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) printing standards, and images can be set up for printing to DPOF printing devices through the Playback menu.

Using the File Size/Quality menu in the Record menu, you can choose between 1,600 x 1,200-, 1,280 x 960-, and 640 x 480-pixel image sizes. Image quality choices include Fine, Normal, and Basic compression levels. All files are saved as Exif Ver. 2.1 JPEGs (Exif is a JPEG format designed for use with digicams).

Following are the approximate number of images and their compression ratios for an 8MB SmartMedia card:

 

Image Capacity vs Resolution/Quality		Fine Quality	Normal Quality	Basic Quality
1,600 x 1,200	Images	10	19	39
	Approx. Compression	7:1	14:1	28:1
1,280 x 960	Images	12	24	N/A
	Approx. Compression	6:1	11:1	N/A
640 x 480	Images	N/A	89	N/A
	Approx. Compression	N/A	10:1	N/A
