USING A MEMORY CARD
106
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.
Formatting a memory card on a computer and then
using it in the camera can slow down data processing
by the camera. In the case of an SD card, formatting
on a computer can result in nonconformity with the SD
format, causing problems with compatibility, opera-
tion, etc.
• Note that data deleted by a memory card format op-
eration cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you
do not need any of the data on the memory card be-
fore you format it.
• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page 92).
1.
Load the memory card into the camera.
2.
Turn on the camera. Next, enter a recording
mode or the Play Mode, and then press MENU.
3. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format,” and
then press [ ].
4. Select “Format,” and then press SET.
• To exit the format operation without formatting, select
“Cancel.”
