Formatting Memory Cards

formatted before use (

The Write Protect Switch
Memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch. When 
this switch is in the “lock” position, data cannot be written to, 
or deleted from, the memory card. If the switch is in the “lock” 
position, unlock it by sliding the switch to the “write” position 
to record or delete pictures, or to format the memory card.
• Be sure that the memory card’s write protect switch is in the

card to the my Picturetown server using the wireless LAN function built into the COOLPIX S52c.
