Canon G1 manual Formatting a CF Card

Formatting a CF Card

Format a CF card when you wish to delete all its data, not just the images. Formatting may restore a CF card if it returns an error or if the “CF” message displays.

1	In the [	(Set up)] menu, select [Format]
	and press the Set button.

•See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 35).

2 Press the or arrow on the omni selector to select [OK] and press the Set button.

•To cancel formatting instead, select [Cancel] and press the Set button.

•Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including protected images and other file types. Please check the contents of a CF card before formatting it.

• When a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.

•CF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral device may not operate correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with your PowerShot G1.
