Formatting a CF Card
Occasionally you may need to format a CF Card
if it was formatted incorrectly or if the data on the
card becomes corrupted.
There are two ways to format a card:
!
Quick format removes the directory
structure but does not erase data. It may be
possible to recover files
(page 48)
after a
Quick format.
!
Full format erases all information and
“cleans up” the card. Images cannot be
recovered.
"
Cards are formatted in PC DOS format.

If two CF Cards are inserted, remove the card

cards are inserted, to prevent formatting the
wrong card.
