FORMATTING CARDS
The camera is only able to read and write to storage media
that have been formatted correctly. New cards sometimes
have no formatting, or you might want to convert a card that
is currently using a format that the camera cannot read. In
either case, you must reformat a CF card in the sensor unit
for H5D use.
FORMAT BUTTON
Press the Format button on the camera grip. It is purposely
recessed to avoid unintentional use, so use a ball-point pen
or similar. A prompt is displayed on the sensor unit for con-
firmation.
