Notes on use of the Microdrive
• Be sure to format the Microdrive using this
camera when you use it for the first time.

Microdrive during playback or shooting.
• Data may be damaged in the following cases:
– Removing the Microdrive while reading or
writing data.
– If you store the Microdrive near corrosive
material.

(41°F) may bring performance degradation.

Microdrive: 5° to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
• Note that the Microdrive cannot be used under
low atmospheric pressure (above 3 000 meters
above sea-level).
