Hasselblad H4D200MS user manual  FORMATTING Cards,  FORMAT Button,  FORMAT VIA Sensor Unit

 FORMATTING CARDS

The camera is only able to read and write to storage media that have been formatted correctly. New cards sometimes have no formatting, or you might want to convert a card that is currently using a format that the camera cannot read. In either case, you must reformat a CF card in the sensor unit for H5D use.

There are two ways to format cards. The quickest way is to use the Format card button on the grip but if you prefer, you can also use the menu on the sensor unit.

 FORMAT BUTTON

Press the Format button on the camera grip. It is purposely ­recessed to avoid unintentional use, so use a ball-point pen or similar. A prompt is displayed on the sensor unit for con- firmation.
