To Format (Initialize) A New Memory Card - Casio Exilim EX-Z300 User Manual

IMPORTANT!
• Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 15) into the memory
card slot.
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off
the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO
authorized service center.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.
1.
Turn on the camera and press [MENU].
2.
Select the "Set Up" tab, select "Format" and then press [6].
3.
Use [8] and [2] to select "Format" and then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete
its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format
the card.
• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on
a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the
camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility,
operation, etc.
