Format the Memory Card
Memory cards must be formatted before first use or after being used or formatted in
other devices.
1 Turn the camera on.
2 Press the Q buttons.
Hold the Q (O and Z) buttons down
simultaneously until a blinking C appears in
the shutter-speed displays in the control panel
and viewfinder.
If two memory cards are
inserted, the card in Slot 1 (0 30) will be
selected; you can choose the card in Slot 2 by
rotating the main command dial.
To exit
without formatting the memory card, wait until
C stops blinking (about six seconds) or press
any button other than the Q (O and Z)
buttons.
3 Press the Q buttons again.
Press the Q (O and Z) buttons together a second time while C is blinking
to format the memory card.

the control panel and viewfinder will show the number of photographs that can
be recorded at current settings.
