It is therefore adversely affected by vibrations that could cause thedrive mechanism to skip. Such vibrations could be caused by loud sounds in theenvironment where the HD-P2 is located – they could be caused by running the built-inspeaker at high sound levels – they could also be caused by excessive jostling when usedwith the shoulder strap. It is strongly recommended that Compact Flash media be used insituations where vibration, physical shock, or jostling is possible.One symptom of MicroDrive media being affected by vibration or shock is stoppedrecordings due to a buffer over run.LCD GhostingIf the LCD backlight is on for 16+ hours and/or the temperature exceeds 40C, faintghosting of the LCD information may appear. It is not permanent and will go away whenthe temperature is reduced.
