Formatting the CF Card

The CF card must be formatted before it is used in the EOS D60 camera. Also, if you see the
message “

” (CF card error) on the LCD panel when you load a CF card, the CF card

may need to be formatted before it can be used.

1

From the Menu, select [Format].

Press the < MENU> button.

Turn the <

> dial to select [Format].

2

Press the <

> button.

A message will appear asking you to
confirm that you want to format the CF
card.

3

Turn the <

> dial to select [OK],

then press the <

> button.

The CF card will be formatted.

Formatting a CF card will erase all information on the card, including protected
images. Be sure to carefully review the contents of a CF card before formatting.

A non-Canon CF card or a CF card formatted with another camera or personal
computer might not work with the EOS D60 camera. In such a case, format the
CF card with the camera first. Then it might work with the camera.

If you insert the CF card and the CF card error message “

” appears,

use a utility program such as Scan Disk to diagnose and fix the CF card.

If the CF card error message “

” appears even after you format the CF

card, or you use Scan Disk or a similar utility program, use another CF card
instead.
