9 Information Card basics Usable cards "Card" in this manual refers to a recording medium. This camera can use CompactFlash, Microdrive or xD-Picture Card (optional). CompactFlash A CompactFlash is a largecapacity solid state flash memory card. You can use commercially available cards. Microdrive A Microdrive is a medium that uses a large-capacity compact hard disk drive. You can use a Microdrive that supports CF+Type II (CompactFlash extension standard). xD-Picture Card An xD-Picture Card is a recording medium used mainly in compact cameras. 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. • 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. x Notes • The data in the card will not be erased completely even after formatting the card or deleting 9 the data.
