Sony DSLR-A200W Instruction Manual - Page 23

Preparing the camera • 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 card. 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. On the "Memory Stick" • "Memory Stick": You cannot use the "Memory Stick" with your camera. • "Memory Stick Duo": You can use the "Memory Stick Duo" with your camera by inserting it in a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor for CompactFlash slot (not supplied). • "Memory Stick PRO Duo" or "Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo" with a capacity up to 8 GB have been confirmed to operate properly with this camera. • A "Memory Stick Duo" formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with this camera. • Data read/write speeds differ depending on the combination of the "Memory Stick Duo" and the equipment used. Notes on using a "Memory Stick Duo" • Do not press down hard when you write down on the memo area. • Do not attach a label on the "Memory Stick Duo" itself. • Do not strike, bend or drop the "Memory Stick Duo." • Do not disassemble or modify the "Memory Stick Duo." • Do not leave the "Memory Stick Duo" within the reach of small children. They might accidentally swallow it. 23
