Formatting Memory Cards

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been used in other
devices, you should format the card with this camera. Formatting (initializing) a
memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the
erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory card.
