To format (initialize) a new memory card

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.

1.Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

2.Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then press [6].

3.Use [8] and [2] to select “Format” and then press [SET].

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 or SDHC 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.
