Formatting Memory Cards

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other devices, you should format the card with this camera.

Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory card.
