Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, 

you should format the card with this camera.

Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy 

images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back 

them up.

 

●

Choose [Format], and then press the [ ] 

button.

 

●

Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose 

[Cancel], press the [ ][ ] buttons to 

choose [OK], and then press the [ ] 

button.

 

●

To begin the formatting process, press 

the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [OK], and 

then press the [ ] button.

 

●

When formatting is finished, [Memory 

card formatting complete] is displayed. 

Press the [ ] button.

 

●

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
management information on the card and does not erase the data 
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, 
please be cautious. Take steps to protect personal information if 
necessary, as by physically destroying cards.

Adjust screen brightness as follows.

 

●

Choose [Disp. Brightness], and then 

press the [ ][ ] buttons to adjust the 

brightness.

 

●

For maximum brightness, press and hold the [ ] button for at 
least one second when the shooting screen is displayed or when 
in single-image display. (This will override the [Disp. Brightness] 
setting on the [ ] tab.) To restore the original brightness, press 
and hold the [ ] button again for at least one second or restart 
the camera.

If you prefer, you can deactivate display of the start-up screen normally 

shown when you turn the camera on.

 

●

Choose [Start-up Image], and then 

choose [Off].
