Format Memory Card
You should use this to format a new memory card, and then use this to erase all the images on
your memory card. You should do this every time you need to clear your card, rather than
deleting the images one by one or using Erase All. Always manage your memory card in your
camera, not on your computer. In other words, copy your photos from the memory card to your
computer then return the card to your camera. Do not delete, add, or move images on the
memory card while it is in the computer. These actions will make it more prone to data
corruption.
Monitor Brightness
Adjust the brightness of the rear Monitor according to your personal preference. You may find
that +1 or +2 is easier to view and more accurately displays you image in relation to your
computer monitor or prints.
Info Display Format
Choose how you wish the Information Display to appear on your rear LCD Monitor. You can
select the default Graphic format or the Classic format, and choose the color scheme (see Figure
12 and Figure 13). For me, the Classic format displays the important information more clearly.
