USING A MEMORY CARD
106
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
IMPORTANT!
• 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 card, formatting
on a computer can result in nonconformity with the SD
format, causing problems with compatibility, opera-
tion, etc.
• Note that data deleted by a memory card format op-
eration cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you
do not need any of the data on the memory card be-
fore you format it.
• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page 92).
1.

Turn on the camera. Next, enter a recording
mode or the Play Mode, and then press MENU.
3.
Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format,” and
then press [ ].
4.
Select “Format,” and then press SET.
• To exit the format operation without formatting, select
“Cancel.”
