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.
