Formatting a CF Card
Occasionally you may need to format a CF Card
if it was formatted incorrectly or if the data on the
card becomes corrupted.
If you have used a CF Card for several sessions
(for example, two or three dozen), you may want
to format it on the camera you will be using so
that the full capacity of the card is available.
(Deleting images does not reclaim all space on
the card.)
There are two ways to format a card:
✔ Quick format removes the directory
structure but does not erase data. It may be
possible to recover files (page 73) after a
Quick format.
✔ Full format erases all information and
“cleans up” the card. Images cannot be
recovered.
☛ Cards are formatted in PC DOS format.
1 Highlight the Menu icon (page 46), and
choose Main Menu from the drop-down menu
(page 47).
2 Choose Card from the Main menu.
3 Choose Quick Format or Full Format from the
Card menu.
4 Press the OK or Cancel button.
