Recommended formatting is by using the back

Selecting “Format disk” will erase the CF-card in the P+ back. The CF- card will be formatted as FAT-32.

Formatting on a Mac OS X computer

On Mac OS X the formatting cannot be done directly in the finder but is easily done inside the Disk Utility located in the Applications > Utilities folder.

Open the Disk utility and select the Disk (not just the partition, but the entire disk).

Select the Erase panel as shown on next page, and select MS-DOS File System. Give the disk a name and click on Erase to erase and format the entire disk for use with the P+ back.

Choose “Options” in the formatting dialog to specify a complete and thorough formatting of the media.

Formatting on a Windows computer

Insert the CF-card in the card reader, and select the drive when it mounts in “My computer” or in the Explorer.

Right click on the drive and select “Format” from the pop-up menu.

Select FAT32 or FAT16 from the “File System” pop-up.

Give the card a name and click Start to format the card to be used with the P+ back.

To specify a complete and thorough formatting of the media resetting all to zeros, do not enable the quick erase option.

Disabling iPhoto Autostart (Mac OS X)

iPhoto Autostart can be disabled in the Mac system preference. Select “CD’s & DVD’s” and change the setting for “Picture CD” to either “Ignore” or point it to the Capture One Application you are using.
