File Management Settings
Use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that is unused 
or has been used on other devices.
Formatting deletes all the data saved on the SD Memory Card.

way controller (5).
The [Format] screen appears.
2
Use the four-way controller (23) 
to select [Format], and press 
the 4 button.
Formatting starts.
When formatting is completed, the screen 
that was displayed before selecting the 
menu appears again.
Formatting an SD Memory Card
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be 
damaged and become unusable.
• Formatting deletes all data, either protected or unprotected. Be aware.
When an SD Memory Card is formatted, the volume label assigned to the card 
is “PENTAX Q”. When this camera is connected to a computer, the SD Memory 
Card is recognized as a removable disk with the name “PENTAX Q”.
