Formatting Memory/Card
• When formatting memory cards, use the Format card option of the camera. The camera
may be unable to access memory cards formatted using a computer or other device.
Do not turn the camera off or remove the batteries or memory card when the message
"FORMATTING" is displayed on the monitor.
When memory or memory cards are formatted, all data in the memory or the memory
cards is deleted. Before formatting transfer the pictures you wish to save to a computer.
Quick format and Format
•When Quick format is selected in the MEMORY CARD FORMAT menu, only the data re-
corded on the card is formatted. This option is used for formatting memory cards that
have been formatted with E5600/E4600.
•When Format is selected in the MEMORY CARD FORMAT menu, the entire card is for-
matted. This option is used for formatting memory cards not formatted with E5600/
E4600.
• New memory cards must be formatted with Format before use.
Using Format regularly for memory cards is recommended to maintain the performance
of memory cards.
Format requires more time than Quick format.
