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, disconnect the AC charger, or remove the battery or memory card during formatting.

•The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX S7/ COOLPIX S8, format them with [Format]. Repeated recording and deleting of pictures with- out regular formatting reduces memory card performance.

•Regular formatting of memory cards is recommended to maintain maximum performance.

•[Format] is not available when the battery is low.
