• To use a “Memory Stick Micro” with this 

camera, be sure to insert the “Memory Stick 
Micro” into an “M2” Adaptor as large as of Duo 
size. If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into 
the camera without an “M2” Adaptor as large as 
of Duo size, you might not be able to remove it 
from the camera.

• Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” within 

the reach of small children. They might 
accidentally swallow it.

• Be sure to format the recording medium using 

this camera when you use it for the first time.

• Data may be damaged in the following cases:

– Removing the memory card while reading or 

writing data.

– If you store the memory card near strongly-

magnetized material.

• The memory card may be hot just after it has 

been used. Be careful when you handle it.

• Do not remove the label or attach a new label 

over the label. 

• When you carry or store the memory card, put it 

in the case supplied with it.

A Microdrive is a compact and lightweight hard 
disk drive that complies with CompactFlash Type 
II.
• 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 
Stick”, which uses flash memory.
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.
