Formatting an SD Memory Card or Internal Memory
The term “Formatting” means preparing an “SD Memory Card” to record images; this
process is also called “initialization”. This utility formats the internal memory (or memory
card) and erases all stored images and data.
1. Push and hold the
OK
button until the camera
turns on.
2. Press the
S
/
button and access the setup
menu with the
X
button.
3. Select [Format] with the
S
/
T
buttons, then
press the
OK
button.
4. Select [Execute] with the
S
/
T
buttons,
then press the
OK
button.
To cancel formatting, select [Cancel] and
press the
OK
button.
5. To exit from the menu, press continuously
the
W
button.
When you format an SD memory card, be aware that all data will be permanently
erased. Protected images are also erased.
To format the internal memory, do not insert a memory card into the camera.
Otherwise, you will format the memory card.
Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later
time.
An SD memory card having any problem cannot be properly formatted.
