Hi!
Because of the greater speed I started using a card reader last week instead of the ist-D's USB cable. I just came back in from shooting the sunset to find that my CF card was still in the reader! I just turned off the "shutter release w/o CF" custom function. This is set to ON by default, what a stupid default setting. The camera does warn you breifly on the LCD, but if you don't notice it you can just go on shooting all day. DOH!
But it also would show on the screen on top of the camera? Would it not?
That is really painful. I managed to get away few times just because I bought two cards...
Well, I decided to give away my Zenit ET camera and two lenses back in 1994 when I received a film from processing which wasn't exposed - I misloaded it. And so auto-all P&S got me :). My Fuji Discovery P&S never let me down in this department :).
