Confirming Shutter Release: Shot Confirm Lamp

The memory card provided with your camera is formatted at shipment. If you purchase additional memory cards for added storage, you will however need to format the cards before first use to ensure that they work properly in your camera. Formatting memory cards is also an effective way of deleting all pictures on the card.
