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 personal computer,
transfer all the images and then format the card. 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.
