Before You Start 3 Formatting the CF Card For a new CF card or a CF card previously formatted by another camera or personal computer, format the card with this camera.

X The confirmation dialog will appear. 2 Format the CF card. Select [OK], then press . X The CF card will be formatted (initialized). X When the formatting is completed, the menu will reappear. When the card is formatted, only the file management information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Keep this in mind when giving the memory card to another person or discarding it. When discarding the card, destroy the card physically to prevent the data from being stolen. If a CF card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, there is a problem with the CF card. Remove and reinstall the CF card. If the error persists, use a different CF card. Or, if you can transfer all the images in the CF card to a personal computer, transfer all the images and then format the card. The card may then return to normal.
