Formatting cards
This function lets you format a card. Formatting prepares cards to receive
data. Olympus CAMEDIA-brand cards are highly recommended for use with
this camera. If you are going to use non-OLYMPUS cards or cards formatted
by other devices such as a computer, you must format them with the camera
before use.
