In such a case, initialize the memory by following steps 1 through 4 below.
APPLIED OPERATIONS (cont.) EN Storing Images in a Compact Flash Card The number of images that can be shot can be greatly increased when a Compact Flash card is used in addition to the built-in memory. By preparing several cards, a single camera can be shared by several people, or they can be used to make a library of images sorted by category. Playing Back Images Stored in a Compact Flash Card NOTE: Switch the camera off with the Power Dial before installing or remoing a Compact Flash card.
