Formatting a CF Card

You should format a new CF card or one from which you wish to erase all images and other data.

Formatting may restore a CF card if it returns an error or if the “CF” message displays.

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

1In the [ (Set up)] menu, select [Format]

and press the button.

•See Selecting Menus and Settings (p. 42).

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

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

• If the camera does not work properly, the inserted CF card may be malfunctioning. Reformatting the CF card may solve the problem.

•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 this camera.
