Inserting a card
“Card” in this manual refers to a recording medium. This camera can use a Compact
Flash or Microdrive (optional). You can also use xD-Picture Card with a card adapter
(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.
• Microdrives confirmed for use with this camera (as of July, 2003):
