GETTING READY
IMPORTANT!
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card
(page 46) into the memory card slot.
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card
slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery,
and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO authorized
service center.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the operation
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save
operation to fail and even damage the memory card.
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
170), 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.
