Format

When a memory card or the camera’s internal memory is formatted, all data is erased.

Lock

Single, multiple, or all files can be locked. To lock images in the internal memory, remove the memory card from the camera.

The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card or in the camera’s internal memory. To format the internal memory, remove the memory card from the camera.

Before formatting, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from being deleted when the memory is formatted. Always format the memory using the cam- era; never use a computer.

When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 71), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing “Yes” formats the memory, choosing “No” cancels the formatting operation. A screen appears to indicate the memory has been for- matted.
