Formatting the CF Card
The CF card must be formatted before it is used in the EOS D30 camera. Also, if you see the

may need to be formatted before it can be used.

Press the MENUbutton.
Turn the 〈〉dial to select [Format].

Press the 〈〉button.
A message will appear asking you to
confirm that you want to format the CF card.

Turn the 〈〉dial to select [OK],
then press the 〈〉button.
The CF card will be formatted.
If a CF card from another manufacturer does not operate correctly, it may be
usable after formatting.
CF cards formatted on other cameras or computers or peripheral devices may
not operate correctly with the EOS D30. In this case, format the card in your EOS
D30 camera.
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.
