Handling of the CF Card
The CF card should only be installed or
ejected when the power for the camera is
off.
Never eject a CF card or turn off the power
during the data storage process or commu-
nication with another device. This could
cause damage to the data or the card.
Do not bend a CF card or subject it to a strong
shock. Do not expose it to water nor leave it
place of high temperature.
Be sure to format before using an unused
CF card or a card used on another camera.
Never attempt to eject a CF card while it is
being formatted. If you do so, the card would
be fatally damaged.

is backed up to a personal computer etc. on a regular
basis.
