Formatting cards (Macintosh)
There may be instances where you may wish to format a card in the FireWire CameraMate
rather than in a digital camera. There may also be times when you may be required or prompted
to format your card. As such please read the information in this section for information on
formatting CompactFlash cards.
WARNING:
Formatting a CompactFlash card will completely erase all data currently stored on
the card. If there are important images or files you wish to safeguard for later use, make a
backup copy on your hard drive, CDR drive, or other type of removable media.
Formatting CompactFlash cards:
Highlight/select the CompactFlash card icon. Select the
"Erase Disk"
command in the
"Special" menu (as shown below).
As formatting a card will completely erase any data currently stored on the card, a dialog
box will appear asking if you wish to completely erase the card. Click
"Erase"
to begin
formatting the card. Or, click
"Cancel"
if you do not wish to format the card.
