3 Formatting the Card

If the card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or
computer, format the card with this camera.

When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be
erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is
nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images and data to
a computer, etc., before formatting the card.
