６）Image recording to CF card
⑴Writing to CF card
Thanks to DIGIC II and an improved card-writing process, high-speed data writing on
par＊ with the EOS 20D is attained.

With a Canon 512MB CF card.
⑵Folder creation and selection
As with the EOS-1D-series cameras, the folder can
be created automatically, manually (Fig. 008), or when
the image file number is reset manually. A folder can
also be created with a personal computer.
The folder created by the camera will be named
***EOS5D (where *** is the folder number). If the
folder is created with a personal computer, the name
will have five characters with a three-digit folder
number followed by a half-width letter and underbar.
The user can select the folder where the captured
images are to be saved. A folder can contain a
maximum of 9999 images. If the selected folder
reaches 9999 images, a new folder is created
automatically for saving captured images.
Note: For example, if there are folders 100 and 101 and folder 100 reaches image number 9999, folder 102 will
be created automatically to save the images captured thereafter. This will occur even if folder 101 has room
for more images. (This is to avoid confusion between the existing and new images in folder 101.)
⑶Image file number
As with EOS-1D-series cameras, the file numbering
can be set to Continuous, Auto reset, or Manual reset.
If Manual reset is set, a new folder will be created
automatically and the image file number will start
from 0001.
７）Startup time
Thanks to DIGIC II, an optimized system processing sequence for the startup, a
revamped CF card access method, and faster startup processes, the startup time has been
reduced to approx. 0.2 sec.
Note: From power off to power on when startup is completed and SW-1 ON functions (ready for shooting).
