Formatting a CF Card
Occasionally you may need to format a CF Card if it was formatted incorrectly or if the data on the card becomes corrupted.
If you have used a CF Card for several sessions (for example, two or three dozen), you may want to format it on the camera you will be using so that the full capacity of the card is available. (Deleting images does not reclaim all space on the card.)
There are two ways to format a card:
✔Quick format removes the directory structure but does not erase data. It may be possible to recover files (page 67) after a Quick format.
✔Full format erases all information and “cleans up” the card. Images cannot be recovered.
☛Cards are formatted in PC DOS format.
