A: You may use a card reader to check whether the file system on your CF card is FAT format. If not, you should format your CF card before inserting it in camera. If the system has nothing wrong, it may be the compatibility between the CF card and the device.

Q2. I came across this kind of situation: When I plug my CF card into device, it works well. However, it suddenly stops working later on.
A: Your CF card is disabled or corrupted if it is improperly plugged or unplugged. When the system is still working with your card, the data transferring will fail. Errors in the file system will take up some available flash memory so that CF card cannot save files. Just format the CF card can fix it.
