jFormatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
• Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the batteries or memory card during formatting.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX L6, format them with [Format].
• Repeated recording and deleting of pictures without regular formatting reduces memory card performance. Regular formatting of memory cards is recommended to maintain maximum performance.
• [Format] is not available when batteries are low.
