and

Cards
• Formatting
the internal memory or memory cards permanently
deletes all data. Be sure to
transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the batteries or memory card during formatting.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX L6, for-
mat them with [Format].
• Repeated recording and deleting of pictures without
regular formatting
reduces memory
card performance.
Regular formatting
of memory cards is recommended to maintain maxi-
mum performance.
• [Format] is not available when batteries are low.
