Setting up CF cards for recording:
The EOS C300 and C300 PL require UDMA-compatible Type 1 CF cards, with a capacity of
at least 512 MB. UDMA-compliance or "card speed" alone is not a guarantee that a card will
function properly in the camera. Canon Inc. has subjected various popular cards to a series of
rigorous tests to verify reliable operation in the EOS C300. This list should be checked by any
