CF Card Handling Precautions
CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend,
force, or subject them to shocks or vibration.
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes may
cause condensation to form in the card, leading to potential
malfunctions. To avoid condensation formation, place the CF card
in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different
temperature zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new
temperature.
If condensation forms on the CF card, put it aside until the water
droplets have evaporated completely.
Place the CF card in the supplied case for storage.
Do not use or store CF cards in the following types of locations.
• Locations subject to dust or sand
• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
Microdrives are a recording medium with a hard disk. Their merits
are a large capacity and a low price per megabyte of capacity.
However, they can be more susceptible to vibrations and shocks
than CF cards, which use durable flash memories. Please be
careful, therefore, not to subject the camera to vibrations or shocks
when using a microdrive, especially while recording or during
playback.
