Setting up Cards, Folders, and Files
Determining Write Speed You can determine the speed at which your camera writes data to the
memory card. Write speeds are measured in Megabytes per second
(Mbytes/sec).
NOTE: Write speed improves if you turn the Image LCD off when
capturing images.
For the Most Accurate Write
Speed Measurement
1. If an SD or MMC card is inserted, set the card to standby and remove
the card (see page 6-2).
2. Insert a CF card (see page 6-2).
3. Select RAW file type (see page 6-3).
4. Set the RAW resolution to 13.5 (see page 6-12).
5. Select Single Image review mode (see page 11-1).
6. Turn off the Image LCD (see page 2-12).
7. Capture one or more images.
8. Choose CF Card from the Capture menu then choose Write Speed.
The write speed for the last saved image appears.
NOTE: Repeat steps 6 - 8 at least 3 times and average the results as
readings can vary slightly.
