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 will be necessary to format the SD Memory Card prior to use.

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

For how to format internal memory, see

7 P.105.

To format internal memory, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the Mode Dial to 1 (Setup Mode).

The Setup Screen appears.

2. Select [CARD FORMAT] and then press the O button.

A screen appears to confirm formatting.

3. Press the $ button to select [YES] and then press the O button.

Formatting starts. 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 acci- dentally erased and the card cannot be for- matted. If you return the switch to the former position, it is once again possible to erase images and format the card.

Formatting

Formatting is the process of preparing a card so image data can be written on it. This is also called initialization.
