Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you
should format the card with this camera.
Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy images
on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.
1
Access the [Format] screen.
● Choose [Format], and then press the [ ]
button.
2
Choose [OK].
● Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose
[Cancel], press the [ ][ ] buttons to
choose [OK], and then press the [ ]
button.
3
Format the memory card.
● To begin the formatting process, press
the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [OK], and
then press the [ ] button.
● When formatting is finished, [Memory
card formatting complete] is displayed.
Press the [ ] button.
● Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file
management information on the card and does not erase the data
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards,
take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by
physically destroying cards.
● The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be
less than the advertised capacity.
Screen Brightness
Adjust screen brightness as follows.
Screen and viewfinder brightness can be set separately. Activate the
desired display in advance by pressing the [ ] button.
● Choose [LCD Brightness], and then
press the [ ][ ] buttons to adjust the
brightness.
● For maximum brightness, press and hold the [ ] button for at
least one second when the shooting screen is displayed or when
in single-image display. (This will override the [LCD Brightness]
setting on the [ ] tab.) To restore the original brightness, press
and hold the [ ] button again for at least one second or restart
the camera.
Hiding the Start-Up Screen
If you prefer, you can deactivate display of the start-up screen normally
shown when you turn the camera on.
● Choose [Start-up Image], and then
choose [Off].
