Transferring a File to a Full Memory Card
If you attempt to transfer a file to a memory card that does not have enough space,
the name of the file with a length of 0 bytes appears in the memory card’s
directory. Before you transfer another file to the memory card, you should
optimize the available space by completing the following steps:
1.
Delete the file from the memory card, using the
delete
command.
2.
Compact the file system, using the
compact
command.
Caution:
You cannot recover your files after entering the

command.
We recommend that you copy them to a second volume before issuing the
format
command.
