Appendix
“Card” in this manual refers to a recording medium. This camera can use a
Compact Flash or Microdrive (optional). An xD-Picture Card can also be used with
a card adapter (optional).
Compact Flash
A Compact Flash is a large-capacity
solid state flash memory card. You can
use commercially available cards.
Microdrive
A Microdrive is a medium that uses a
large-capacity compact hard disk drive.
You can use a Microdrive that supports
CF+Type II (Compact Flash extension
standard).
A Microdrive is a medium that uses a compact hard disk drive. Because the
disk drive rotates, a Microdrive is not as resistant to vibration or impact as
other cards. Special care is needed when using a Microdrive (especially during
recording and playback) to make sure the camera is not subjected to shock or
vibrations. Be sure to read the following precautions before using a Microdrive.
Also, refer to the manuals provided with your Microdrive.
•
Be very careful when putting the camera down during recording. Place it
gently on a firm surface.
•
Be careful not to hit the camera against anything when carrying it by the
strap.
•
Do not use the camera in places subject to vibrations or excessive shock,
such as at a construction site or in a car while driving along a bumpy road.
•
Do not take a Microdrive close to areas where it may be exposed to strong
magnetism.
