œ Even with cards of the same capacity, the amount of data that can actually be stored
may differ depending on the card brand, etc.
Cautions when using the Microdrive
œ When using the Microdrive continuously, the card will become very hot. Be careful when
touching the card for removal, etc.
œ When using the Microdrive, it will take a few seconds after the digital camera is turned
on before the card can be used. This time will increase when more data is stored on the
card.
œ When erasing a large amount of data with the “GROUP ERASE” command, you may
have to wait a few seconds. (It will take approx. 1 minute to erase 2,000 still images
from the Microdrive.)
œ It will take a great deal of time to download large amounts of data from the Microdrive to
your computer.
œ Microdrive cards require more power than CompactFlash cards. Therefore the possible
battery operation time (see page 200) when using the Microdrive will be much less than
that when using a CompactFlash card.
œ Microdrive cards are easily damaged by vibrations. Be sure to read the cautions
supplied with the Microdrive.
