Formatting a Memory Card
Memory cards which have been formatted on a computer or other external device, or
cards of another manufacturer, may have a different format. Such cards should be
formatted before they are used with the camera. Formatting a used card deletes all the
images stored on the card, so you should frequently copy images to a computer where
they can be stored safely. A SmartMedia card protected by an attached protect seal
cannot be formatted.

format into the camera. (30)
