card.

• Care should be taken if you remove the CF card immediately after using the

camera, as the card may be hot.

• Do not remove the CF card or turn the camera off while data is being recorded

on the card or transferred to another device as this may cause the data to be
lost or the card to be damaged.

• Do not bend the CF card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water

and store away from high temperature.

• Be sure to format unused CF cards or CF cards that have been used on anoth-

er camera. Refer to “Formatting the CF Card” (p.72) for instructions on format-
ting.

• Never remove the CF card during formatting as this may cause the card to be

damaged and become unusable.

• when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is

removed

• while the data on the card is being accessed (when the status lamp and flash

lamp are blinking green and red)

• The CF card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the data

on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to make a backup of important
data on a PC.

electrical interference.

• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to

rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
