Note:
• Formatting the card erases the existing data, including pictures which
have been write-protected from the camera. Be careful not to erase
important data when formatting a recorded card.
• Formatting will not be engaged when the write-protect adhesive seal is
placed on the card.
• Non-Olympus brand cards or cards formatted from or used in a computer
must be formatted by the camera. These cards may take longer to record
than recommended Olympus brand cards.
• It is highly recommended that you confirm the contents before formatting.
