GETTING ACQUAINTED
•Never turn off camera power or subject the camera to im- pact while the card access lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause malfunction of the microdrive.
•The microdrive is a very high precision device. Dropping the camera can result in malfunction of the microdrive, even though the camera is undamaged. Take extra care when handling the camera while the microdrive is installed.
•The microdrive has very large storage capacity. Because of this, certain operations can take a relatively long time to perform.
•The microdrive may not operate properly in areas where barometric pressure is low. Because of this, you should avoid using it at high altitudes.
•A microdrive consumes much more electrical power than a CompactFlash card. Depending on how a microdrive is used, it can greatly reduce battery life. When using alkaline batteries, certain operating conditions and certain battery brands can result in batteries going dead right after you install new ones. Whenever using a microdrive, we recom- mend that you use rechargeable nickel metal hydride bat- teries or lithium batteries to power the camera.
•When battery power is low, the amount of time required between shots may become longer. This longer interval is designed to protect the microdrive.
•Contact your original microdrive retailer or the contact point noted in the microdrive documentation.
•CASIO does not provide any servicing or maintenance support for the microdrive.
•Note that CASIO assume no responsibility for any data loss you may suffer while using the microdrive.
•This camera supports use of both a CompactFlash card and the microdrive. Note, however, that ejecting a microdrive from the camera is relatively more difficult than ejecting a CompactFlash card.
