The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera. We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using them with this camera.

If there is data on the memory card that you do not want to delete, select No and press the kbutton. Copy that data to a computer before formatting. To format the memory card, select Yes.
