The access lamp lights or blinks while the picture is taken, when data is being transferred to the card and when data is being recorded, read, or erased on the card. While the access lamp is lit or blinking, never do any of the following. Doing so may damage the image data. It may also damage the card or camera.

•Opening the card slot cover.

•Removing the battery.

•Shaking or banging the camera around.

If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might not start from 0001 (p.80).

If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove and reinstall the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

If you can transfer all the images in the card to a computer, transfer all the images and then format the card (p.43). The card may then return to normal.

When holding a hard disk-type card, always hold its sides. You may damage the card by holding its flat surfaces. Compared to CF cards, hard disk-type cards are more vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If you use such a card, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration or physical shock especially while recording or displaying images.
