Memory Cards

Precautions for Use
Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See "Approved Memory Cards" (A113) for
recommended memory cards.
Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with
the memory card.
Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.
Formatting
Do not format the memory card using a computer.
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into
this camera, be sure to format it with this camera.
We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using
them with this camera.
Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and
other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish
to keep before formatting the memory card.
If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the
camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you
do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you
want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be
displayed. To start formatting, press the k button.
Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or
deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera
or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the
batteries or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
