Notes

Do not repeatedly insert or remove the CompactFlash over a short amount of time. Doing so may cause mis-recognition of the CompactFlash and memory malfunction. If you open the CompactFlash slot door while the unit is recording or in playback, operations will stop. If that occurs, be sure that the status on the LCD screen changes to x (playback/recording is stopped) before removing the CompactFlash.

When ejecting the CompactFlash, forcefully pressing the eject lever and allowing the CompactFlash to be pointed downward when ejected will cause the CompactFlash to fall.
