GETTING READY

Formatting a Memory Card

Before using a new memory card for the first time, you need to

format it. Once you format a memory card, you will not need to

format it each time you use it.

Formatting a memory card that already has files on it will delete

its contents.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation

cannot be recovered. Double-check to make sure that you

really want to delete all the contents of the memory card

before proceeding with the format operation.

• Even if the file data on a memory card is protected (page

181), formatting the card will delete all its data.

• 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 memory card or SDHC

memory card, formatting on a computer can result in non-

conformity with the SD format, causing problems with

compatibility, operation, etc.

1. Load the memory card you want to format into

the camera.

2. Turn on the camera and press [MENU].

3. On the “Set Up” tab, select “Format” and then

press [X].

4. Use [S] and [T] to select “Format” and then

press [SET] to start formatting.

After formatting is complete, enter the PLAY mode and

check to make sure the “There are no files.” message

appears on the monitor screen.

• To exit the format operation without formatting, select

“Cancel”.
