USING A MEMORY CARD
109
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
IMPORTANT!
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.
Formatting a memory card on a computer and then
using it in the camera can slow down data
processing by the camera. In the case of an SD card,
formatting on a computer can result in non-
conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.
• Note that data deleted by a memory card format
operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure
you do not need any of the data on the memory card
before you format it.
• Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page 86).
1.
Load the memory card into the camera.
2.
Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC
mode or PLAY mode and press [MENU].
3.

then press [!].
4.
Use ["] and [#] to select “Format”, and then
press [SET].
• To exit the format operation without formatting,
