Formatting a CF Card
You should always format a new CF card or one from which you
wish to erase all images and other data. Formatting may restore a
CF card if it returns an error or if the “ ” message displays.
zPlease 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.

[Format] and press the SET button.
zSee Selecting Menus and Settings
(p. 46).

Press the W or X arrow on the
omni selector to select [OK] and
press the SET button.
zTo cancel formatting instead, select
[Cancel] and press the SET button.
zThe capacity of the CF card displayed
after formatting will be less than the rated
capacity written on the label of the
CF card. This is not a malfunction of
the CF card or camera.
zIf the camera does not work properly, the inserted CF card may
be malfunctioning. Reformatting the CF card may solve the
problem.
zWhen a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning,
reformatting it may solve the problem.
zCF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral
device may not operate correctly. When that happens, reformat
the CF card with this camera. If formatting in the camera does
not work properly, turn the camera off and reinsert the CF card.
Then turn the camera back on and format again.
