Inserting the Memory Card
First Steps
B Formatting a Memory Card
If the message on the right is displayed when the camera is turned
on, the memory card must be formatted before use. Note that
formatting (A154) 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 (A154) with this camera.
B The Write Protect Switch
When the memory card 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.
B Memory Cards
• Use only Secure Digital memory cards.
• Do not perform the following operations during formatting, while data is being written to or

-Turn off the camera
