Preparing the SD Memory Card (FORMAT [CARD])

If the error message [CARD ERROR] is displayed when an SD memory card is loaded into the camera or the card has been used with a computer or other device, you must format the card prior to use with this camera.

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

Caution------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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