4.8 Formatting your Memory Card
Most CompactFlash cards are preformatted and ready for use in the
IQ backs. However, Phase One recommends that all cards should be
formatted in the IQ back to ensure their optimum performance.
Memory card formatting is done in either FAT 16 or FAT 32 depending
on card size. (IQ backs support CompactFlash cards formatted in both
FAT 16 and FAT 32).
Using CompactFlash Cards in a Card Reader
A card will be mounted as a removable drive on a computer after it
has been inserted into the card reader and connected to a Mac or PC.
Windows and Mac OS X will have the required drivers for the CF card
reader. For information on how to import les to Phase One Capture
One, please consult the Capture One online user guide available under
Capture One Help in the Help Menu.
Warning!
Ejecting a card or removing the battery while the IQ2 back is still writ-
ing (when the red LED is on) will cause images that are not written to
the card to be permanently lost or damaged. Do not bend or ex your
CompactFlash card. Please keep the card away from moisture, grit and
sand. Use the supplied CompactFlash card case as a storage container
when not in use.
