Formatting the card

Formatting prepares cards to receive data. Non-Olympus cards or cards
formatted on a computer must be formatted with the camera before they can
be used.
All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased when the
card is formatted. When formatting a used card, confirm there are no images
that you still want to keep on the card.
