Formatting a Memory Card
You can format a memory card to delete all of the data
stored on it.
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the
card, even if some or all of the images are protected.
• Data deleted by a memory card format operation can-
not be recovered! Be sure to carefully check and con-
firm that you no longer need the data stored in a
memory card before formatting it.

Memory Card Precautions
• Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a
memory card is installed in it.
• Be sure to use only CASIO brand CompactFlash cards.
Proper operation with other memory cards is not guaran-
teed.
• Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-
nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of the
data stored on a memory card. Because of this, you
should always make backup copies of important images
on other media (magnetic optical disk, floppy diskette,
computer hard disk, etc.).
• Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting
the memory card (page 122). Reformatting a memory card
deletes all images stored on the card, but you can use a
computer to copy the images you want to keep to the
computer's hard disk before reformatting your card. If you
plan to be recording images where you do not have ac-
cess to a computer, it is a good idea to take along an extra
memory card or two just in case you experience an unex-
pected memory card problem.

Standard Battery Life
This camera can be powered using AA-size alkaline, lithium
or Ni-MH batteries.
The battery life reference values given below indicate the
amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power
2
automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not
guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service
indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and
continued use.

Memory Card Folder Precautions
• Folders (directories) are automatically created if the card
you are using does not already have similarly named fold-
ers (page 84).
• Up to 250 images can be stored in a single folder. Though
it is possible to put more than 250 images into a folder on
your computer, the camera will not display images past
250.
• Image files in camera memory are assigned names made
up of the date (first five characters) plus a three-digit num-
ber and the extension JPG. Names do not change when
you move or delete folders.

About rechargeable batteries
• Use only the nickel-metal hydride batteries (NP-H3) that
are available from your dealer as options for this camera.
Proper camera operation is not guaranteed when other re-
chargeable batteries are used.
• Be sure to keep all four batteries together as a set at all
times, for both charging and powering the camera. Mixing
batteries from different sets can shorten overall battery life
and cause malfunction of the camera.
• Rechargeable batteries cannot be charged while they are
loaded in the camera.
