A microdrive is a recording medium using a hard disk. It has a large capacity and the
price per megabyte is low. However, compared to a CF card equipped with a flash
memory, it is vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If you use a microdrive, be
careful not to subject the camera to vibration, shake, or physical shock while it is
recording or displaying images.
