(FORMAT [CARD])
If the error message [CARD ERROR] is displayed when an SD
memory card is loaded into the camera or the card has been used
with a computer or other device, you must format the card prior to
use with this camera.
Formatting is the process of preparing a card so image data can be
written on it.

If you format a card that still has images stored on it, the images will be lost.

[YES] and then press the
MENU/OK button.
• Formatting starts. When it is done, the display returns to the SETUP
menu.

turning the power off, load an SD memory card and repeat the
formatting process again.

Press the MENU/OK button.
Protecting your images from being deleted----------------------------------------

still images from being accidentally erased or the card from being formatted.

• If you unlock the card (by returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
