 [FORMAT]

The built-in memory or card is formatted. Formatting 
irretrievably deletes all the data so check the data 
carefully before formatting.

• Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler 

(optional) when formatting. Do not turn the camera off during formatting.

• If a card has been inserted, only the card is formatted. To format the built-in memory, 

remove the card.

• If the card has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, format it on the camera 

again.

• It may take longer to format the built-in memory than the card.
• If the built-in memory or the card cannot be formatted, consult your nearest Service 

Center.
