CLIP AND SAVE BEGIN AN ASSIGNMENT by formatting the card using the Format Card function in the camera. When the card has been used in another camera, formatting ensures file system compatibility. Plus, it removes existing image and saves time when editing.

then… DIGITAL IMAGE

WORK FLOW COPY STEP 1

Copy the images from the card to the computer, even the desktop, where you can work with them quickly and efficiently. At some point, a CompactFlash or SD card will go bad. It is a certainty. To prevent problems, after completing an assignment, copy all images off the card immediately. Leave them on the card for the next person who uses the card to reformat. At this point, you have two copies of all of the images in case something goes wrong. Never “erase all images” on your card. Always format the card. Modern digital cameras provide both an “Erase All Images” option and a “Format Card” option. Formatting the card prevents errors by reorganizing the folder structure and resetting the card to factory standards. Never erase any of the images by using the computer. The erasure can cause even more errors than “Erase All Images.” The computer process can lead to an ERR-99, a generic error often caused by memory card problems.
