Format memory/card

Formatting Memory/Card

When formatting memory cards, use the Format card option of the camera. The camera may be unable to access memory cards formatted using a computer or other device.

Do not turn the camera off or remove the batteries or memory card when the message “FORMATTING” is displayed on the monitor.

When memory or memory cards are formatted, all data in the memory or the memory cards is deleted. Before formatting transfer the pictures you wish to save to a computer.

Quick format and Format

When Quick format is selected in the MEMORY CARD FORMAT menu, only the data re- corded on the card is formatted. This option is used for formatting memory cards that have been formatted with the COOLPIX 7600.

When Format is selected in the MEMORY CARD FORMAT menu, the entire card is for- matted. This option is used for formatting memory cards not formatted with the COOLPIX 7600.

New memory cards must be formatted with Format before use.

Using Format regularly for memory cards is recommended to maintain the performance of memory cards.

Format requires more time than Quick format.

Format is not available when X (Q 12) is displayed.
