A quick test shows that the E-3 stops writing as soon as the CF door
is opened. It appears to be impossible to eject the CF while it is
writing. If the card is put back in, the camera appears to resume
writing its buffer out to the card.
I've never seen any problems but I've probably only had the card out a
half dozen times.
I wonder if there is an incompatibility with the CF card he is using.
I don't think I have anything other than SanDisk cards.
He should have a folder on his CF card labeled 101OLYMP. This folder
is deleted if the camera formats the card but is re-created when a
picture is taken. The "erase all" function does not remove the folder.
Both operations are quite quick, at least with only a half dozen
pictures on the care, but I don't see how he accidently perform
either.
My guess is that the camera is probably working fine but the card,
card reader, or some software on his computer is misbehaving.
