Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you
should format the card with this camera.
Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy
images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them
up.
An Eye-Fi card (= 2 45) contains software on the card itself. Before
formatting an Eye-Fi card, install the software on a computer.
