Formatting the Memory

Formatting deletes all the data on the SD Memory Card or the built-in
memory.
Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that
is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital devices.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may
damage the card and render it unusable.
• Formatting deletes protected images and any data recorded on the
card with a computer or any camera.
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a computer or device other than this
camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with this camera.
• To format the built-in memory, be sure to eject the SD Memory Card
beforehand. Otherwise, the SD Memory Card will be formatted.
• When you intend to use a brand-new Eye-Fi card for the first time,
copy the Eye-Fi Manager installation file to your computer before
formatting the card.
• The optional frames copied from the CD-ROM (S-SW121) are deleted
when the SD Memory Card or the built-in memory is formatted (3
default frames are not deleted.).
