Precautions for using Microdrive
The following restrictions apply when using Microdrive. Read the instructions
provided with your Microdrive.
You are recommended to use an xD-Picture Card or CompactFlash card when
taking important pictures.
Operating environment
Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive. As it is a rotating recording medium, it
is not as resistant to vibration or impact as the solid recording medium of other
cards.
When using Microdrive, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration or
impact. (Special care is needed during recording and playback.)
• Do not bang the camera down on the table during recording.
• Be careful not to hit the camera against anything when carrying it on your
shoulder.
• Do not use the camera where the ground is likely to vibrate, such as a
construction site.
• Do not use the camera in the car while driving along a bumpy road etc.,
where the camera will be badly shaken.
Precautions regarding Microdrive
• Do not write on the label.
• Do not remove the label.
• Do not over-wrap labels.
• It is advisable to keep Microdrive in its case for storage or transportation.
• Microdrive may become hot if used for an extended period of time. Care
should be taken when handling Microdrive.
• Do not take close to where there is strong magnetism.
• Do not apply strong pressure to the cover.
Camera operations
Using Microdrive may increase the battery consumption. To reduce
consumption of the battery, observe the following.
• Whenever possible, refrain from using the monitor during shooting.
• Unless there is a particular need, remove the xD-Picture Card when using
Microdrive.
• If nothing happens when the buttons are pressed, remove the battery, then
put it back again.
• If you use Microdrive when the battery power is low, the camera may not
turn on.
If CARD ERROR is displayed
• If no pictures can be recorded or downloaded, run SCANDISK on a PC.
