• 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 IMPORTANT!

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.
In case of microdrive malfunction....
• 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.

Close the memory card
slot cover.
• Insert only memory cards into the memory card slot.
Inserting any other type of card can cause malfunc-
tion.
• Should water or any other foreign matter get into the
memory card slot, immediately turn off power, unplug
the AC adaptor, and contact your original retailer or
nearest CASIO Service Provider.
• Never eject the CompactFlash card while the card slot
is facing downwards. Doing so creates the danger of
the CompactFlash card falling, which can corrupt im-
age data on the card.
• Never remove the memory card from the camera
while the operation lamp or card access lamp is flash-
ing. Doing so can cause loss of recorded images or
corruption of memory card data.
