Formatting a CF Card
You should format a new CF card or one from which you wish to erase all images
and other data.
Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including
protected images and other file types. Please check the contents of the CF card
before formatting it.

If the camera does not work properly, the inserted CF card may be malfunctioning.
Formatting the CF card may solve the problem.
When a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the
problem.
CF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral device may not
operate correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with this camera.
