C.Fn-08, instead of displaying the number of remaining shots, you can display the
ISO speed. And instead of displaying the file number, you can display the number of
remaining shots.(

The number of remaining shots depends on how much capacity remains in the
CF card and the ISO speed setting.
The file number is displayed in accordance with the file numbering method you
set. (

folder will be displayed. If continuous numbering has been set, the file number of
the last captured image will be displayed.

Access lamp
While the access lamp is blinking (“
” is displayed in the viewfinder and
on the top LCD panel), do not shake or hit the camera, remove battery, or
open the CF card slot cover. Such actions may destroy the image data or
damage the camera.
After the picture is taken, menu operations will not work during the processing
and writing to the CF card (access lamp blinks). If you press the <
> button
during this time, “Busy” will be displayed on the LCD monitor.
If a CF card is used for the first time or “
” is displayed on the top LCD
panel, see “Formatting a CF Card” on page 126 to format the card.
Do not use a low-capacity CF card. If the image file size is large, the CF card may
not be able to save it.
A microdrive is a recording medium using a hard disk. It has a large capacity and
the price per megabyte is low. However, compared to a CF card equipped with a
flash memory, it is vulnerable to vibration and physical shock. If you use a
microdrive, be careful not to subject the camera to vibration, shake, or physical
shock while it is recording or displaying images.
