X The CF card will be ejected. Close the cover.

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 [cFile 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 [zShoot w/o card] to [Off], it will prevent shooting without a CF card. (p.43)
