Usable cards
“Card” in this manual refers to a recording medium. This camera can use CompactFlash,
Microdrive or xD-Picture Card (optional).
Precautions when using a Microdrive
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.
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.
Formatting the card
Non-Olympus cards or cards formatted on a computer must be formatted with the camera
before they can be used.
All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased when the card is formatted.
When formatting a used card, confirm there are no images that you still want to keep on the
card.
