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.
There are two ways to format cards. The quickest way is to
use the Format card button on the grip but if you prefer, you
can also use the menu on the sensor unit.
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-
rmation.

Note
Only UDMA/type 4/60MBs (or 400x)

H5D use.
See full list in ‘Appendix’ in this
manual.
Note
All CF cards should be formatted in
the sensor unit before rst-time use!
