Precautions for using Microdrive
The following restrictions apply when using Microdrive. Read the instructions
provided with your Microdrive.
You are recommended to use an xD-Picture Card, SmartMedia or Compact
Flash card when taking important pictures.
Operating environment
Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive. As it is a rotating recording medium,
it is not as resistant to vibration or impact as the solid recording medium of
other cards.
When using Microdrive, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration or
impact. (Special care is needed during recording and playback.)
• Do not bang the camera down on the table during recording.
• Be careful not to hit the camera against anything when carrying it on your
shoulder.
• Do not use the camera where the ground is likely to vibrate, such as a
construction site.
• Do not use the camera in the car while driving along a bumpy road where
the camera will be badly shaken.
