43. What happens if the selected bit-rate is too fast for a given CF card?
nanoFlash automatically stops, reduce the bit-rate to the next lower level, and re-starts
recording. An error message: “Video Footage Lost, Card too Slow” is displayed.
44. What is the cost of the CompactFlash media?
The cost of CompactFlash media varies daily. Please check on-line retailers for latest
prices.

Yes, go to http://www.gepe.com/ for a comprehensive selection of Compact Flash cases.
46. What is the recording time?
The recording capacity depends on the bit-rate and the memory size of the card, as
shown in the chart below:

47. Do you use FAT32 file structure?
Yes, FAT32 allows the CompactFlash media to be easily used on both the Apple
Macintosh and PC. With FAT32, the maximum file size for an individual file (clip) is
limited to around 4 GB.
During record and playback, the nanoFlash seamlessly closes one file and starts another,
even if the next file is on another CompactFlash card. A recording is not limited to the
length of one clip. One can record continuously until all of the cards are full.
When editing, the individual clips can be easily put adjacent to each other on the timeline.
For many editors, this can be quickly accomplished by selecting the desired group of
clips, then dragging and dropping the group to the timeline.
The 4GB size of each clip is also desirable if one wishes to archive the clips on DVD’s or
other media that is limited in size. Additionally, the file size can be reduced using the “Max
