USING A MEMORY CARD

Formatting a Memory Card

Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored on it.

IMPORTANT!

•Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the camera. In the case of an SD card, formatting on a computer can result in non- conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.

•Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you do not need any of the data on the memory card before you format it.

•Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes all the files, even those that are protected (page 86).

1.Load the memory card into the camera.

2.Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC mode or PLAY mode and press [MENU].

3.Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and then press [ ].

4.Use [ ] and [ ] to select “Format”, and then press [SET].

•To exit the format operation without formatting, select “Cancel”.
