To replace the memory card

Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and then insert another one.

• Never remove a card from the camera while the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

Before using a memory card for the first time with the camera, you must format it.

IMPORTANT!

•Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format the card.

•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, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc.

•Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.

•Formatting a FlashAir card with the camera will delete files on the card that are required for communication. For details about formatting, see the instructions that come with the memory card.
