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.
• 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.
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.
