Precautions for use of CF Memory Card
(Microdrive)
A Microdrive is a compact and lightweight hard disk drive that complies
with Compact Flash TypeII.
Notes on use of the Microdrive
• Be sure to format the Microdrive using this camera when you use it for
the first time.
• The Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive. Since the Microdrive is a
rotating disk, the Microdrive is not strong enough to resist vibration and
shock compared to a “Memory Stick,” which uses flash memory.
Be sure not to transmit vibration or shock to the Microdrive during
playback or shooting.
• Data may be damaged in the following cases:
– Removing the Microdrive while reading or writing data.
– If you store the Microdrive near corrosive material.
• Note that the use of the Microdrive under 5 °C (41 °F) may bring
performance degradation. Operating temperature range when using the
Microdrive: 5 °C to 40 °C (41 °F to 104 °F)
• Note that the camera cannot be used under low atmospheric pressure
(above 3 000 meters above sea-level).
• The Microdrive may be hot just after it has been used. Be careful when
you handle it.
• Do not write on the label.
• Do not remove the label or attach a new label over the label.
• When you carry or store the Microdrive, put it in the case supplied with
it.
• Do not expose the Microdrive to water.
• Do not press on the label strongly.
• Hold the sides of the Microdrive in your hand and do not squeeze the
Microdrive.
