4.8 Formatting your Memory Card
Most CompactFlash cards are preformatted and ready for use in the IQ backs.
However, Phase One recommends that all cards should be formatted in the
IQ back to ensure their optimum performance.
Memory card formatting is done in either FAT 16 or FAT 32 depending on
card size. (IQ backs support CompactFlash cards formatted in both FAT 16
and FAT 32).
Using CompactFlash Cards in a Card Reader
A card will be mounted as a removable drive on a computer after it has been
inserted into the card reader and connected to a Mac or PC. Windows and
Mac OS X will have the required drivers for the CF card reader. For information
on how to import les to Phase One Capture One, please consult the Capture
One online user guide available under Capture One Help in the Help Menu.
Warning!
Ejecting a card or removing the battery while the IQ2 back is still writing
(when the red LED is on) will cause images that are not written to the card
to be permanently lost or damaged. Do not bend or ex your Compact-
Flash card. Please keep the card away from moisture, grit and sand. Use the
supplied CompactFlash card case as a storage container when not in use.
