The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory
card. Before formatting a memory card, copy the data to a com-
puter or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from
being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the mem-
ory card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.
When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the
playback menu (p. 72), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing
“Yes” formats the card, choosing “No” cancels the formatting
operation. A screen appears to indicate the card has been format-
ted.

When a memory card is formatted, all data
on the card is erased.
A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-
to-use-card message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. If the card-error mes-
sage appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica
Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
