Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you should format the card with this camera.

Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.

An Eye-Fi card (=90) contains software on the card itself. Before formatting an Eye-Fi card, install the software on a computer.

1Access the [Format] screen.

zzChoose [Format], and then press the <m> button.

2Choose [OK].

zzPress the <o><p> buttons to choose [Cancel], press the <q><r> buttons to choose [OK], and then press the <m> button.

3Format the memory card.

zzTo begin the formatting process, press the <o><p> buttons to choose [OK], and then press the <m> button.

zzWhen formatting is finished, [Memory card formatting complete] is displayed. Press the <m> button.

• Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file management information on the card and does not erase the data completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically destroying cards.

• The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less than the advertised capacity.

Low-Level Formatting

Perform low-level formatting in these cases: [Memory card error] is displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.

zzOn the screen in step 2 of “Formatting Memory Cards” (=74), press the <o><p> buttons to choose [Low Level Format], and then press the <q><r> buttons to select this option. A [] icon is displayed.

zzFollow step 3 in “Formatting Memory Cards” (=74) to continue with the formatting process.
