* Figures over 1000 display as “999” since the display panel can only show up to three digits.

The data above reflects standard Canon testing conditions. The actual figures will vary according to the shooting conditions and settings.

The following are the approximate maximum recording times for movie clips:

30 seconds, 120 seconds. The maximums in the chart reflect continuous shooting.

Superfine, Fine and Normal indicate the relative compression ratio.

CF Card Handling Precautions

CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend, force, or subject them to shocks or vibration.

Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.

Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may cause condensation to form in the card, leading to potential malfunctions. To avoid condensation formation, place the CF card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If condensation forms on the CF card, put it aside until the water droplets have evaporated completely.

Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.

Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations.

-Locations subject to dust or sand

-Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits are a large capacity and a low price per megabite of capacity. However, they are relatively more susceptible to vibrations and shocks than CF cards, which use durable flash memories. Please be careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations or shocks when using a microdrive, especially while recording or replaying.
