lect

Cautions
•
Formatting permanently deletes all data on the card or in inter-
nal memory
. Before formatting, copy any data you wish to keep
to a computer (page 136).
• Selecting
Format [Card]
when no memory card is inserted dis-
plays an error message. Turn the camera off and insert a memory
card.
Tip: Write Protection
To prevent memory cards from being formatted, slide the write-
protect switch to the “LOCK” position (page 14). Restore the switch
to its original position to resume normal operation.
