Removing the CF Card
Access lamp
When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that the images
are being written to or read by the CF card or being erased. While
the access lamp is lit or blinking, do not do any of the following.
Doing so may damage the image data, CF card, or camera.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
• Open the CF card slot cover.
• Removing the battery.
If you use a CF card already containing recorded images, the images
recorded thereafter by the camera might be appended with a file number
that continues on from the images already recorded on the CF card.
If you want to restart the file numbering from 0001, set [c File
numbering] to [Manual reset]. (p.71)
If “Err CF” (Error CF) is displayed on the LCD panel, see page 126.
If you use a low-capacity CF card, it might not be able to record large
images.
Compared to CF cards, Microdrive cards are more vulnerable to
vibration and physical shock. If you use a Microdrive, be careful not to
subject the camera to vibration or physical shock especially while
recording or displaying images.
On the menu, if you set the [z Shoot w/o card] to [Off], it will prevent
shooting without a CF card. (p.43)
