Konica Minolta Z3 instruction manual Format

Format

When a memory card is formatted, all data

on the card is erased.

The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card. Before formatting a memory card, copy the data to a com- puter or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the mem- ory card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.

When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 72), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing “Yes” formats the card, choosing “No” cancels the formatting operation. A screen appears to indicate the card has been format- ted.

A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable- to-use-card message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. If the card-error mes- sage appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
