Compatible CF cards
You can use UDMA-compatible* Type I CF cards with a capacity of at least 512 MB with the camera. For more
details on cards that can be used, visit your local Canon Web site.
* The Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) specification allows data to be transferred between the CF card and device at high
transfer speeds (measured in MB/s). Depending on the CF card, you may not be able to record even when using a UDMA-
compatible CF card.
