Projects and image files that can be stored on a
CompactFlash card
Any number of project and image files can be stored on a CompactFlash card up to the
capacity of that card.
In a file name, you can use lowercase letters (a–z), numerals (0–9), and the symbols "-
" (hyphen) and "_" (underline). If a file whose file name contains uppercase letters is
saved on a CompactFlash card, the CG-8 will automatically convert the uppercase
characters to lowercase.
When saving image files to a CompactFlash card on your computer, you must add an
extension to the filename. The CG-8 will not recognize files that have no extension.
The CG-8 will not recognize files whose name contains characters that cannot be used
(A–Z, a–z, 0–9, -, _).
Formatting a CompactFlash card
Before you can use a newly purchased CompactFlash card or a CompactFlash card
that's been used by a different device, you'll need to format (initialize) that card.
Caution when formatting
Formatting will erase all of the data on the card. Be sure to double-check before you
format a card.
Formatting procedure
Cards are formatted in the FILE MANAGER screen. For details, refer to "Formatting
a CompactFlash card" (p. 97).
Precautions concerning the handling of
CompactFlash cards
When inserting
Carefully note the end that should go in first, and the side that should face upward, then
push the CompactFlash card into the slot as far as it will go. Do not use excessive force.
When removing
Grasp the card with your fingers and pull it straight out.
Never remove the card while loading, saving, or formatting is in progress. Also, you
must never turn off the power of the CG-8 or disconnect the power cord while loading,
saving, or formatting is in progress. Doing so may damage the CompactFlash card.

Stamp Picture" (p. 57).
Static electricity can occur
more easily in conditions
of low humidity. Before
inserting or removing a
CompactFlash card, touch
a metal component of the
CG-8 to discharge any
static electricity that may
be present in your body.
