Using External Media

Commercially available external media, connected via USB, can be used the same way as CF and SD cards. You can also back up images from CF and SD cards onto external media.

Note that external media must meet the following requirements.

Use media conforming to the USB Mass Storage Class Specification. If an external hard disk drive is used, use a self-powered drive. Bus- powered drives do not work in some situations.

The main image storage area must be formatted with a FAT16 or FAT32 file system.

Use media with a main image storage area of less than 1 TB (terabyte), with 512 bytes per sector.

Do not use external media equipped with a card slot.
