A newly purchased CompactFlash card or a CompactFlash card that has been used by
another device must be formatted (initialized) before you can use it on the CG-8.

adaptor" (p. 18).
* For more about CompactFlash cards, refer to "About CompactFlash cards" (p. 20).

When you format a CompactFlash card, all the data on the card will be lost. Please use
caution when formatting a card.
