Formatting cards
This function lets you format a card. Formatting prepares cards to receive data.
Before using non-Olympus cards or cards which have been formatted on a PC,
you must format them with this camera.
All data stored on the card, including protected pictures, is erased when
the card is formatted. When formatting a used card, confirm there are no
pictures that you still want to keep on the card.
