Formatting a Memory Card		Memory Card Precautions

You can format a memory card to delete all of the data stored on it.

IMPORTANT!

•Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the card, even if some or all of the images are protected (page E-86).

•Data deleted by a memory card format operation can- not be recovered! Be sure to carefully check and con- firm that you no longer need the data stored in a memory card before formatting it.

1.Press MENU.

2.Select “Set Up” “Format”.

3.In response to the confirmation message that appears, select “Yes” to start formatting the card.

•Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a memory card is installed in it.

•Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards. Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran- teed.

•Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe- nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the data stored on a memory card. Because of this, you should always make backup copies of important images on other media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette, computer hard disk, etc.).

•Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting the memory card (page E-115). Reformatting a memory card deletes all images stored on the card, but you can use a computer to copy the images you want to keep to the computer’s hard disk before reformatting your card. If you plan to be recording images where you do not have access to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an extra memory card or two just in case you experience an unexpected memory card problem.
