Creative Expansion Card Compatibility

 

1-10... can be used with conditions mentioned below:

  1. Autozoom does not function

  2. High- or low-speed continuous drive should not be used in release priority

  3. Because 5xi and i-series cameras cannot detect subject movement at the film plane, they cannot prevent blur which may result when shooting from a moving car.  The display when adjusting the Travel Card is the same as that of the Automatic Depth Control Card.

  4. With 8000i or 7000i the function of this card is the same as that of the current Data Memory Card.

  5. In release priority, shutter will not release unless the subject is in focus.

  6. With 8000i or 7000i the function of this card is the same as that of the current Fantasy Effect Card.  Multiple exposure mode cannot be used.

  7. Cannot be used in A, S, or M Mode.

  8. In M mode, the aperture cannot be adjusted during bracketing.

  9. In M mode, the aperture cannot be adjusted during bracketing.

  10. The starting point of the exposure series cannot be changed from the settings chosen by Expert Program Selection.
