Storing images in memory

43

The images are copied from internal memory to the CF
memory card. Your images are still stored in internal memory
until you delete them. If you have created a print order for
those images, the print order is copied to the CF memory card
along with the images.

Formatting memory

The internal memory installed in your digital camera is formatted
at the factory. Under ordinary circumstances, you do not need to
format it. However, if the camera does not store images properly,
you might want to try formatting the internal memory.

CAUTION

Formatting deletes everything stored in memory.

Most CF memory cards are already formatted when you buy them.
However, if you buy a CF memory card that has not been
formatted, you need to format it before you can store images on it.
If you insert a new, formatted card in the camera and it doesn’t
work, try reformatting it—it might have been formatted improperly.
Also reformat cards that were previously used in a different
camera to optimize them for use with your camera.

Note

You can reuse a CF memory card that is full by
formatting it. This deletes all images and files from
the card. You can also use the Delete menu to
delete one or all images from a CF memory card.

To format internal memory or a CF memory card

1 Turn on the camera.

2 Press the

dial twice to open the main menu.

3 Turn the

dial to scroll to the Delete icon, and then

press the

dial to open the Delete menu.

4 Turn the

dial to scroll to Format Memory or, if a

CF memory card is installed, scroll to Format CF Card, and
then press the

dial.

5 Turn the

dial to select Yes, and then press the

dial.
