Close the CF card slot cover securely.
• When the indicator on the left side of the viewfinder
blinks green, the camera is writing, reading, erasing or
transmitting an image to or from the card. Do not
perform the following, for image data may be lost or
corrupted:
- Do not shake the camera.
- Do not turn off the power or open the CF card slot
cover.
• Be aware that use of CF cards whose contents have
been edited with another camera or with another
company’s software may cause the camera to operate
incorrectly.
• You are recommended to use CF cards that have been
formatted in your camera (p. 138). The card supplied
with the camera may be used without further formatting.
For more information on CF cards, see
CF Cards and
Estimated Capacities (Recordable Images)
(p. 203).
About CF Cards...
• CF cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend
them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or
vibration.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter a CF card.
• Moving a CF card rapidly between temperature extremes will
cause condensation to form in the card and lead to a
malfunction. To avoid condensation, place the CF card in a
sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different temperature
zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature. If
condensation forms on the CF card, store it at room
temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.
• Do not use or store CF cards in the following locations.
- Locations subject to dust or sand
- Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures
