CompactFlash / Magnetic Fields
CompactFlash / Magnetic Fields
Do magnetic fields affect / corrupt CompactFlash cards? I remember it was an issue with floppy discs (showing my age and inexperience with the modern world!) Just wondering if I have to keep my flash card well separated from the GPS antenna when packing my DL1 in the carry case.

No worries. The only CF cards that are magnetic sensitive are the IBM/Hitachi microdrives which are little hard drives. Sandisk extreme cards are super rugged. Mine have sat out in the sun, gone through the washer and dryer and so forth. Just worry about your driving!
