Preparing a Compact Flash Card for Shoot

Formatting in Mac OS X

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 digital camera back to read the card.
Notes:
•
If you use the Leaf Aptus digital camera back as a card reader, we
recommend that you use a computer running Mac OS X.
•
Formatting the compact flash card erases all data on the card.
If you have been using the compact flash card with your Aptus 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 56.
1. Insert the compact flash card into the card reader or the Leaf Aptus digital
camera back.
