FILE BACKUP
You can choose to transfer all files in the internal memory to the
inserted memory card, or only those images rated as ★. This may be
useful if e.g. the internal memory will be formatted, or if previously
you were saving images to the internal memory, because there was
no memory card available at the time of the shooting.
▸ Select Storage Management in the main menu
▸ Select Backup memory (IN ⇒ SD)
▸ Select Copy all / Copy all with ★
▸ Confirm the selection
• The lower status LED will flash during that process.
FORMATTING STORAGE LOCATIONS
It is recommended to format storage locations from time to time, as
some residual data (data accompanying shootings) may use up stor-
age capacity. An inserted memory card and the internal memory can
be formatted independently. Please note the following:
– Never switch off the camera while data transfer is in progress.
– When formatting a storage location, all date in that storage loca-
tion will be irretrievably lost. Formatting will not be prevented by a
deletion protection set for individual shots.
– All images should therefore be regularly transferred to a safe
mass storage medium, e.g. the hard disk of a computer.
INTERNAL MEMORY
The internal memory can be formatted to remove residual data accu-
mulated over time, or to free up the storage capacity quickly.
▸ Select Storage Management in the main menu
▸ Select Format Storage
▸ Select Format internal memory
▸ Confirm the selection
• The lower status LED will flash during that process.
