Formatting Cards

Cards must be formatted. Formatting prepares cards to receive data.
Olympus CAMEDIA-brand cards are highly recommended. If you are going to
use non-OLYMPUS cards or cards formatted by other devices such as a
computer, you must format them with the camera before use. Cards can be
formatted in all mode dial positions.
