• Never turn off camera power or subject the camera to im-
pact while the card access lamp is flashing. Doing so can
cause malfunction of the microdrive.
• The microdrive is a very high precision device. Dropping
the camera can result in malfunction of the microdrive,
even though the camera is undamaged. Take extra care
when handling the camera while the microdrive is installed.
• The microdrive has very large storage capacity. Because
of this, certain operations can take a relatively long time to
perform.
• The microdrive may not operate properly in areas where
barometric pressure is low. Because of this, you should
avoid using it at high altitudes.
• A microdrive consumes much more electrical power than a
CompactFlash card. Depending on how a microdrive is
used, it can greatly reduce battery life. When using alkaline
batteries, certain operating conditions and certain battery
brands can result in batteries going dead right after you
install new ones. Whenever using a microdrive, we recom-
mend that you use rechargeable nickel metal hydride bat-
teries or lithium batteries to power the camera.
• When battery power is low, the amount of time required
between shots may become longer. This longer interval is
designed to protect the microdrive.
In case of microdrive malfunction....
• Contact your original microdrive retailer or the contact
point noted in the microdrive documentation.
• CASIO does not provide any servicing or maintenance
support for the microdrive.
• Note that CASIO assume no responsibility for any data
loss you may suffer while using the microdrive.
• This camera supports use of both a CompactFlash card
and the microdrive. Note, however, that ejecting a
microdrive from the camera is relatively more difficult than
ejecting a CompactFlash card.
