(© 129) Precautions When Using the Microdrive Please pay attention to the following restrictions regarding use of the Microdrive. For important shooting, the SmartMedia or CompactFlash card is recommended. (Also, carefully read the Microdrive manual.) Where to Use the Microdrive The Microdrive is a compact, lightweight hard disk drive. Because it is a rotating data storage media, as contrasted with stationary recording media such as CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards, a Microdrive cannot withstand strong shock or vibration. When using a Microdrive, always handle the camera carefully to protect the Microdrive and camera from vibration and shock, especially while the Microdrive is writing data to or reading data from the disk. General Precautions • Never throw the camera onto a hard surface like a desk while the Microdrive is writing data to the disk. • Never allow the camera to strike a hard object while the camera is hanging from your shoulder by its shoulder strap. • Avoid using the camera in an area, such as a construction site, where there is a large amount of vibration. • Avoid using the camera in a moving vehicle such as a jeep to reduce vibrations. 26
