Formatting A Cf Card - Canon Powershot G1 User Manual

Formatting a CF Card

Format a CF card when you wish to delete all its data, not just the images.
Formatting may restore a CF card if it returns an error or if the "CF" message displays.
• Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including
protected images and other file types. Please check the contents of a CF card
before formatting it.
• When a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the
problem.
• CF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral device may not operate
correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with your PowerShot G1.
