To Format (Initialize) A New Memory Card - Casio Exilim EX-ZS26 User Manual

To replace the memory card
Press the memory card and then release it. This
will cause it to pop out of the memory card slot
slightly. Pull the card out the rest of the way and
then insert another one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while
the back lamp is flashing green. Doing so can
cause the image save operation to fail and
even damage the memory card.

To format (initialize) a new memory card

Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.
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 card on a
computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down
processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.
• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi
install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.
