Formatting a “ Memory Stick”

Insert the “Memory Stick” you
want to format into the camera.
Set the mode dial to SET UP,
and turn on the power.

The term “formatting” means preparing a
“Memory Stick” to record images; this process
is also called “initialization.” The “Memory
Stick” provided with this camera, and those
available commercially, are already formatted,
and can be used immediately.

When you

format a “Memory Stick,” be aware that
all of the images in the “Memory Stick”
will be permanently deleted.
