| Setting Up Your Camera |
The number of photos a memory card can store depends on the memory | Memory card indicator | |
card’s storage capacity and the settings that you choose for each photo. The |
|
|
|
| |
number is a conservative estimate, so you might find that you can take more |
|
|
|
| |
photos than it indicates. |
|
|
You can also check the status of the memory card using the memory card |
|
|
indicator on the color LCD. For example, you can see from the indicator in the |
|
|
graphic that the memory card is more than half full. |

Formatting a Memory Card
Most CompactFlash memory cards are already formatted when you buy
them. But if you buy a memory card that has not been formatted, you need to format it before you can use it in the camera.
To format a memory card:
1.Insert the memory card and turn the camera on. The camera can be in any mode.
If the memory card is not formatted, the color LCD displays a message asking if you want to format the memory card.
2.Press the Format button (left soft key). The camera formats the memory card.
