zThe memory card or the CF card adaptor (in case of xD Picture card) is
defective.
Try with another memory card and if you do not experience a problem, the first memory card may
be damaged. In this case, reformat the memory card with the digital camera. When you reformat
the memory card with the digital camera, all the data on the memory card will be deleted. If you
can read image data on the computer, reformat the memory card after you have backed up the
image data.
If you still have problems with another memory card, the CF card adaptor may be defective, or the
card is not operating correctly with the machine.
Images on the memory card are not recognised
zThere is no image on the memory card.
Check if there is any image data on the memory card using your digital camera or computer.
zThere is some invalid image data on the memory card.
If < NO FILES ON CARD> is displayed on the LCD, there are only invalid images on the memory
card. If a message is displayed, see page 138.
Cannot print correctly from the memory card
z“?” is printed in the index.
The image data does not comply with the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) standard, or
the image data is not in JPEG format. Check the image data in your digital camera or computer. Or,
the size of the image data may be too large. If you cannot print the photograph from the machine,
print it from your computer.
