13–System Settings and Formatting

Using QUICK FORMAT

NOTE

Use the QUICK FORMAT item to quickly format the SD card.

1Select the QUICK FORMAT item and press the ¥/π key to highlight “Exec.”

2Press ¥/π to open a pop-up confirmation window.

3Press the ¥/π key to execute the quick formatting, or press the STOP/HOME key to cancel formatting.

Using FULL FORMAT

Use the FULL FORMAT item to completely format the SD card.

Full formatting checks the memory for errors while formatting, so it takes more time than quick formatting and you might have to wait a while.

Full formatting of a 2GB SD card takes about 20 minutes or more depending on the type of SD card.

1Select the FULL FORMAT item and press the ¥/π key to highlight “Exec.”

2Press ¥/π to open a pop-up confirmation window.

3Press the ¥/π key to execute the full formatting, or press the STOP/HOME key to cancel formatting.

CAUTION

•When using FULL FORMAT, use the AC adapter (sold separately) or confirm that the batteries’ power remains enough. If the power fails during formatting, the formatting may not occur correctly.

•Depending on the size of the SD card, FULL FORMAT could take an hour or more. Please be patient and do not disconnect the power during formatting.
