Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the SanDisk Extreme CompactFlash card, simply insert it into the designated CompactFlash slot on your camera or camcorder. Ensure the card is pushed in until it clicks or seats firmly, and never force it if you feel resistance. For compatibility, verify that your device specifically requires a CompactFlash Type I or II card, as this format is physically larger than SD cards. To care for your card, always format it within your camera's menu system rather than on a computer to ensure the file system is optimized for your specific device. When not in use, store the card in a protective plastic case to keep the delicate pin-holes free of dust and debris.
