zWhen the upper indicator blinks green,
the camera is writing, reading, erasing or
transmitting an image to or from the CF
card. Do not perform the following or
image data may be lost or corrupted:
- Subject the camera body to vibration
or shocks.
- Turn the camera’s power off, or open
the CF card slot cover.
zPlease note that CF cards formatted
with other manufacturers’ cameras or a
computer, or formatted or edited with
application programs, may slow down
writing to the CF card or may not
operate correctly in the camera.
zYou are recommended to use CF cards
that have been formatted in your camera
(see Formatting a CF Card (p. 19)). The
card supplied with the camera may be
used without further formatting.
