Cautions when using the Microdrive
œ
When using the Microdrive continuously, the card will become very hot. Be careful when
touching the card for removal, etc.
œ
When using the Microdrive, it will take a few seconds after the digital camera is turned on
before the card can be used. This time will increase when more data is stored on the card.
œ
When erasing a large amount of data with the “GROUP ERASE” command, you may have to
wait a few seconds. (It will take approx. 1 minute to erase 2,000 still images from the
Microdrive.)
œ
It will take a great deal of time to download large amounts of data from the Microdrive to your
computer.
œ
Microdrive cards require more power than CompactFlash cards. Therefore the possible battery
operation time (see page 136) when using the Microdrive will be much less than that when
using a CompactFlash card.
œ
Microdrive cards are easily damaged by vibrations. Be sure to read the cautions supplied with
the Microdrive.
