Getting the SD Memory Card Ready for Use (CARD FORMAT)

If an error message "This card cannot be used." is displayed, or if you have formatted a card with a computer or some other device, it is necessary to format the SD Memory Card prior to use.

For how to format internal memory, see p.95.

To format, follow the steps below.

Buttons used here

Turn the Mode Dial to (Setup Mode).

The Setup Screen appears.

Select [CARD FORMAT] and then press the button.

A screen appears to confirm formatting.

Press the button to select [YES] and then

press the button.

Formatting commences. When it finishes the SETUP screen returns.

If an SD Memory Card is not loaded, a message will be displayed. After turning the power off, load an SD Memory Card and repeat the formatting process again.

Write-protecting your images

If you move the card’s write-protection switch to LOCK, your still images cannot be accidentally erased and the memory card cannot be formatted. If you return the switch to the former position, it is once again possible to erase images and format the card.

If you format a card that still has images stored on it, these will be lost.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of preparing a card so image data can be written on it. This is also called initialization. In general, this term is commonly used when a floppy disc or other media is prepared for saving.
