Formatting an SD Memory Card

Formatting deletes all the data on the SD Memory Card.
Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that
is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital devices.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may
damage the card and render it unusable.
• Formatting deletes protected images and any data recorded on the
card with a computer or any camera.
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a computer or device other than this
camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with the camera.
• The built-in memory cannot be formatted except when an error occurs.
