Formatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
• Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to transfer
important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off or open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until formatting
is complete.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX P6000, be sure
to format them with this camera.
