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.

•

The Microdrive may not function correctly under low air pressure conditions, like in altitudes of

3,000 m (9,843 ft.) and higher.

Notes

•

The data in the card will not be erased completely even after formatting the card or deleting the

data. When discarding, destroy the card to prevent leakage of personal information.

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.
