Formatting A Cf Card - Canon PowerShot G2 User Manual

Formatting a CF Card

You should format a new CF card or one from which you wish to erase all images
and other data.
Formatting may restore a CF card if it returns an error or if the "CF" message displays.
• Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including
protected images (p. 96) and other file types. Please check the contents of a CF
card before formatting it.
• When a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the
problem.
• CF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral device may not
operate correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with this camera.
