Changing lens with power on or off

[Steplim]

Paiseh.. please, i really dunnomuch. hehe. photography is a new hobby for me and i am still learning as much as a newbie can learn.

When you open the CF door, the camera already shuts off, and if at the time you do this, the CF card write light is still blinking, then habis.. say byebye to those pictures still in the buffer that were in transit to the card.

so i think you can't take out the card with the power on. once you open the CF card door, the camera shuts off. at least it does on my 20D. AFAIK, it's not a good idea to yank out the CF card when your camera is on. What are you planning to do with the CF while the power is on? street magic? heeheehee

Hi "-nomuch":bsmilie:, dont 'paiseh lah' just say 'gumsiah'. anyway, why I ask is b-cos it happened to me that I forgot to turn off the power before I take out the CF card.
You know, in the moment where your CF card is full and you have to quickly reach out to new CF card before you miss the next important shot..... :sweat:
So, I learnt now that, don't open/insert CF card while power on.
