Images can be saved to or reproduced from a CF card. Pay attention to the following when using 
a CF card:

 

 

•  Use a Type-I or Type II-compliant CF card or microdrive. 

•  Carefully read the user's manual provided with your CF card before using the card. 

•  To format a CF card on your computer, use FAT12, FAT16 (Sometimes these are 

expressed simply as FAT.), or FAT32. Depending on the OS used, you may not be able to 
select a format. 

•  The DS-L1 is able to format a CF card. CF cards preformatted in NTFS, that is, formats not 

supported by the DS-L1, are formatted in FAT16. For detailed information on using the 
formatting function, refer to “2.2.2 Reproducing Images from a CF Card–VIEW Menu” in 
Chapter VI. 

NOTE:  CF cards formatted in other than NTFS may not be correctly formatted in 

FAT16 depending on the formats used. In such cases, reformat those CF 
cards in FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32 on your computer before use. 

 

•  Insert the connecting side (with the connecting slot) of a CF card into the card slot, with 

the label side facing toward you. Carefully note the direction and inclination of a CF card 
when inserting. 

•  Check to see that the CF card indicator LED is off before inserting or removing a CF card. 

•  Do not remove a CF card or turn off power to the DS-L1 while the card is being accessed 

(the LED indicator is on). Attempting to do so may result in loss of recorded data or 
damage to the CF card.
