M Format Memory/O Format Card - Nikon COOLPIX S9 User Manual

M Format Memory/O Format Card

If no memory card is inserted, this option is labeled
[Format memory] and formats internal memory.
Remove the memory card from the camera to for-
mat the internal memory. If a memory card is
inserted, the option is labeled [Format card] and
formats the memory card.
When a memory card is inserted, two format
options are available:
Quick format
Formats only portions of the memory card containing data.
Format
Formats the entire memory card including portions with no recorded data.
Format takes longer than Quick format.

Formatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
• Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to
transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX S9, for-
mat them with [Format]. Repeated recording and deleting of pictures without regular for-
matting reduces memory card performance. Regular formatting of memory cards is
recommended to maintain maximum performance.
• Do not turn the camera off or remove the battery or memory card during formatting.
• [Format] is not available when the battery is low.
