Formatting Memory Cards
Memory cards must be formatted before fi rst use. Use the format option in the
camera setup menu to format memory cards; the camera may be unable to access
memory cards that have been formatted in a computer or other device. For information
on formatting memory cards, see “The Setup Menu: Format Card” (
98).
The Write Protect Switch
SD cards are equipped with a write protect switch to prevent accidental loss of data.
When this switch is in the “lock” position, pictures can not be recorded, deleted, or
edited, and the card can not be formatted. Do not lock the card when taking, deleting,
or editing pictures or when transferring pictures to a computer (
53).
Removing Memory Cards
Memory cards can be removed without loss of data when the camera is off. To remove
memory cards, turn the camera off and confi rm that the power-on lamp is off. Do
not open the memory card slot cover while the power-on lamp is lit. Open the
memory card slot cover and press the card in to partially eject the card. The card can
then be removed by hand.
