Precautions When Using the Microdrive
Please pay attention to the following restrictions regarding use of the Microdrive.
For important shooting, the SmartMedia or CompactFlash card is recommended.
(Also, carefully read the Microdrive manual.)
Where to Use the Microdrive
The Microdrive is a compact, lightweight hard disk drive. Because it is a rotating data storage
media, as contrasted with stationary recording media such as CompactFlash and SmartMedia
cards, a Microdrive cannot withstand strong shock or vibration. When using a Microdrive, always
handle the camera carefully to protect the Microdrive and camera from vibration and shock,
especially while the Microdrive is writing data to or reading data from the disk.
General Precautions
• Never throw the camera onto a hard surface like a desk while the Microdrive is writing data to the
disk.
• Never allow the camera to strike a hard object while the camera is hanging from your shoulder by
its shoulder strap.
• Avoid using the camera in an area, such as a construction site, where there is a large amount of
vibration.
• Avoid using the camera in a moving vehicle such as a jeep to reduce vibrations.
