Inserting the Memory Card
First Steps
B Formatting a Memory Card
If the message on the right is displayed, the memory card must be
formatted before use. Note that formatting (A182)
permanently deletes all pictures and other data on the
memory card. Be sure to make copies of any data you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
To format, use the rotary multi selector to choose Ye s and press the
k button. When the confirmation dialog is displayed, choose
Format and press the k button to start formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off, or open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until formatting
is complete.
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be
sure to format it (A182) with this camera.
B The Write Protect Switch
Memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch. When
this switch is in the “Lock” position, data cannot be written to,
or deleted from, the memory card. If you want to record data,
delete data or format the memory card, and the switch is in the
“Lock” position, slide the switch to its original position to
unlock it.
