Do not remove the CF card when the camera is powered on.
When a CF card is inserted, the camera will use the card as the main storage media.
Files stored in the camera’s built-in memory will become inaccessible until the CF card
is removed.
If the CF card cannot be identifi ed by your camera but is usable on other device, it is
probably because of incompatible format. Please see the Troubleshooting section for
more information.
