FORMAT
The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card. Before formatting a
memory card, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Protecting images do not
prevent them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the memory
card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.
Select the format option from the setup menu (p. 70).
When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.
Use the up/down keys to highlight the memory
card to be formatted; SD for a SD Memory card or
MultiMediaCard, and MS for a Memory Stick.
Press the right key or menu button to begin
formatting the selected card. The left controller
key cancels the operation.
