The CF card must be formatted before it is used in the EOS 10D camera. Also, if you see the message "Err CF" (CF card error) on the LCD panel when you load a CF card, the CF card may need to be formatted before it can be used.

Formatting a CF card will erase all information on the card, including protected images. Be sure to carefully review the contents of a CF card before formatting.
- A non-Canon CF card or a CF card formatted with another camera or personal computer might not work with the EOS 10D camera. In such a case, format the CF card with the camera first. Then it might work with the camera.
- If you insert the CF card and the CF card error message "Err CF" appears, use a utility program such as Scan Disk to diagnose and fix the CF card.
- If the CF card error message "Err CF" appears even after you format the CF card, or you use Scan Disk or a similar utility program, use another CF card instead.
