Format; Lock - Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z20 Instruction Manual

Format

When a memory card or the camera's internal memory is formatted, all
data is erased.
The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card
or in the camera's internal memory. To format the internal memory,
remove the memory card from the camera.
Before formatting, copy the data to a computer or storage device.
Locking images will not protect them from being deleted when the
memory is formatted. Always format the memory using the cam-
era; never use a computer.
When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the
playback menu (p. 71), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing
"Yes" formats the memory, choosing "No" cancels the formatting
operation. A screen appears to indicate the memory has been for-
matted.
A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-
to-use-card message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. If the card-error mes-
sage appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica
Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
