Memory Card Tool

This item appears only when the memory card is inserted in the camera.

Formats the memory card.
To ensure stable operation of the memory cards, we recommend that you format the memory
card the first time you use it with this camera. However, if you format the memory card, all the
data on the memory card will be deleted and you cannot restore that data. So, be sure to store
your important data on the computer before formatting the memory card.

• Note that formatting irrevocably erases all data on the memory card, including even protected images.

Select [OK] with v, then press the multi-selector.
The format is completed.

To cancel the formatting

• Charge the battery sufficiently. Copying image files when the remaining battery amount is low can cause

data transfer failure or damage the data due to battery exhaustion.

• You cannot copy individual images.
• The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the

internal memory, remove the memory card after copying, then execute the [Format] command in [Internal
Memory Tool] (page 49).

• When you copy the data in the internal memory to the memory card, a new folder is created. You cannot

choose a specific folder on the memory card as the destination for the data to be copied.
