Formatting
This function lets you format the memory card. Formatting prepares cards
to receive data. Before using non-OLYMPUS cards or cards which have
been formatted on a computer, you must format them with this camera.
All existing data, including protected pictures, are erased when the
card is formatted. Make sure that you save or transfer important data
to a computer before formatting the card.
