Records on CF cards and Microdrives*
The SIGMA SD9 records on reliable, high - capacity Type I
and Type II CF (CompactFlash ) cards. Or, you can attach a
Microdrive* to hold even larger volumes of data.
*This recording medium uses a high - speed hard disk, so it is more vulnerable to vibration and shock than flash memory CF cards. If you use a Microdrive, take extra care not to expose the
camera to shock or vibration, especially during recording and playback.
