Memory Card Precautions; Ibm Microdrive Precautions - Casio QV-2400UX User Manual

Memory Card Precautions

• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a
memory card is installed in it.
• Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards.
Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran-
teed.
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-
nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the data
stored on a memory card. Because of this, you should al-
ways make backup copies of important images on other
media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette, computer
hard disk, etc.).
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting
the memory card. Reformatting a memory card deletes all
images stored on the card, but you can use a computer to
copy the images you want to keep to the computer's hard
disk before reformatting your card. If you plan to be record-
ing images where you do not have access to a computer, it
is a good idea to take along an extra memory card or two
just in case you experience an unexpected memory card
problem.
GETTING ACQUAINTED
• Formatting is recommended for any memory card that you
suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a DECODE
ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images) or
newly purchased memory cards.
• Before starting a format operation, load a full set of new
batteries (alkaline or lithium) into the camera or connect
the AC adaptor to power the camera. Interruption of cam-
era power during the format operation results in improper
formatting, making it impossible to use the memory card.

IBM Microdrive Precautions

Compatibility of the camera with the IBM microdrive has
been confirmed by CASIO. However, you should note the
following important points whenever using the IBM
microdrive.
• Be sure to carefully read all of the documentation that
comes with the microdrive before using it.
• Note that the microdrive becomes hot during normal use.
Take care when removing it from the camera.
• Take care to avoid strong pressure on the label side of the
microdrive when it is removed from the camera. Strong
pressure can damage internal components and cause mal-
function.
