Memory cards may be hot after use. Observe due caution during removal.
Format the memory card
Memory cards must be formatted before first use. To format the memory card, turn the
camera on (A) and hold the buttons down together for more than two seconds (B) (to
exit without formatting the card, press any other button). A blinking For (format) indicator will
appear in the control panel on top of the camera (C). To format the memory card, press the
buttons a second time. Note that formatting memory cards permanently deletes any
data they may contain. Before formatting a card, be sure to make copies of data you would like
to keep.

, and the maximum number of shots that can be stored on the card at
current settings will be shown in both control panels (if more than a hundred exposures can be
stored on the card, the display will show FL).
Removing the Memory Card
Memory cards can be removed
without loss of data when the cam-
era is off. Turn the camera off and
confirm that the access lamp is off.
Do not attempt to remove the card
while the access lamp is on; failure
to observe this precaution could
result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card. Open the card slot cover, stand the
eject button up (A), and press it down (B1) to eject the card (B2).
