Card basics

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.

• Be careful not to hit the camera against anything when carrying it by the

strap.

• 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.
