INSERTING A CF CARD
1. Open the CF card slot cover by inserting a thumb in the
recess and then sliding it to the left.
2. Behind the cover, you will see a slot for the card (A) and a
release button (B) below the slot.
3. Hold the compact-flash card so that the connector holes
face into the slot and you can read the brand label when
you are behind the camera. Gently press the card into the
slot. If you encounter resistance, it might be because you
are holding the card backwards or upside down.
4. If the card can be easily inserted nearly all the way into
the back, then you are inserting it correctly. Press the
card another couple of millimetres firmly into place.
5. Close the slot cover and slide it to the right to lock it.

REMOVING A CF CARD
1. Open the CF card slot cover
2. Press the release button (B) a little way in and then
release it so that it extends a little out from the slot.
3. Press the now extended release button all the way back
into the unit again. Some force is required. As you do
this, the card will be pushed out a few millimetres.
4. Grasp the card and pull it away from the unit.
5. Close the slot cover shut again.

CF CARD TIPS
1. All CF cards should be formatted in the CFV-50c before
first-time use even if the CFV-50c is already able to read
it. This will enable the CFV-50c to use the card more effi-
ciently.
2. You can also use the ‘Format’ command for the purpose
of deleting all images on a card. This is sometimes faster
than using the delete function but it is not as flexible
because all data from all batches will always be erased.
3. Be aware that formatting will erase all data contained
on the target medium, so ensure you have backed up all
required files beforehand.
4. Do not remove a CF card from the CFV-50c if the ‘ready’
light is blinking! All files on the card may become cor-
rupted (and consequently lost) if you do so and new for-
matting may also be necessary.
5. Only UDMA/type 4/60MBs (or 400x) cards or better are
recommended for CFV-50c use. See list in below.

RECOMMENDED CF CARDS
Ensure you format all previously unused cards in the CFV-50c before use for optimum performance.
Do not remove a CF card from the CFV-50c if the ‘ready’ light is orange. All files on the card may become corrupted (and consequently lost) if you
do so and new formatting may also be necessary.
