Formatting the Internal Memory
If no memory card is inserted, this option is labeled
[Format memory] and formats internal memory.
Remove the memory card from the camera to for-
mat the internal memory.
Formatting a Memory Card
If a memory card is inserted, the option is labeled
[Format card] and formats the memory card.
j Formatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to
transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
Do not turn the camera off, disconnect the AC charger, or remove the battery or memory
card during formatting.
The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX S7c, for-
mat them with [Format]. Repeated recording and deleting of pictures without regular for-
matting reduces memory card performance.
Regular formatting of memory cards is recommended to maintain maximum performance.
[Format] is not available when the battery is low.
Quick format
Formats only portions of the memory card containing data.
Format
Formats the entire memory card including portions with no recorded data.
[Format] takes longer than [Quick format].
