Formatting Memory Cards

Compact flash memory cards must be formatted before they can CONCEPT be used in the camera. You can also format cards to erase all folders and photographs. When memory cards are formatted, all

data on the card are permanently deleted; be sure to copy to a computer any files you would like to keep.

The Card Format option is available in all modes. To format a card
