Notes on using Microdrives for movie shooting
◆
If the camera’s internal temperature rises too high, movie shooting stops to protect the media. Because
Microdrives tend to generate heat (for mechanical reasons), long periods of continuous movie shooting
may not be possible when the ambient temperature is high. As a general guide to shooting times, you
can shoot movies for around 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of +30°C/+86°F and for around 30
minutes at +25°C/+77°F.
1 If the camera’s internal temperature rises during shooting, the message “MICRODRIVE IS
OVERHEATING. MOVIE RECORDING WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SOON” appears.
2 This then changes to “PLEASE STOP MOVIE RECORDING!”. If you continue shooting, the movie is
saved and the camera shuts down.
3 If you then immediately try to start shooting again, “MOVIE RECORDING HAS STOPPED CANNOT
RESTART A WHILE” appears and you cannot start shooting. Switch the camera off and do not use
it for roughly 30 minutes until it has cooled down. Note that you can still shoot still images during this
period.
●
!
Because the Microdrive is hot just after a movie is recorded, do not remove the Microdrive immediately.
