Preparing a Compact Flash Card for Shoot
Format a compact flash card in the following circumstances:
•
If the compact flash card is new.
•
If you have used the compact flash card on a non-Leaf digital camera back.
You can format the card on a computer running either Mac OS or Windows. When
formatting the compact flash card, you can use either a card reader, or the Leaf
Aptus-II digital camera back to read the card.
If you have been using the compact flash card with your Aptus-II and wish to erase
all the data on the card, perform a quick format. For more information, see
Formatting the Compact Flash Card in Portable Mode on page 60.

that you use a computer running Mac OS X.
