Notes on use of the Microdrive
A Microdrive is a compact and lightweight hard
disk drive that complies with CompactFlash Type
II.
• The Microdrive is a compact hard disk drive.
Since the Microdrive is a rotating disk, the
Microdrive is not strong enough to resist
vibration and shock compared to a “Memory
Stick,” which uses flash memory.
Be sure not to transmit vibration or shock to the
Microdrive during playback or shooting.
• Note that the use of the Microdrive under 5°C
(41°F) may bring performance degradation.
Operating temperature range when using the
Microdrive: 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F)
• Note that the Microdrive cannot be used under
low atmospheric pressure (above 3 000 meters
above sea-level).
• Do not write on the label.
