• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device
into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera. We recommend
formatting new memory cards with this camera before using them with this
camera.
• Note that formatting permanently deletes all images and other data on the
memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before
formatting the memory card.
• Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to
or deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the
camera or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the
battery or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
