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 digital camera, you must format the card with this camera prior to use.

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.

To format the internal memory, follow the steps below.

•Formatting starts. When it is done, the display returns to the setup menu.

•If no SD memory card is loaded, a message will be displayed. After turning the power off, load an SD memory card and repeat the formatting process again.

Protecting your images from being deleted----------------------------------------
