You should always format a new memory card or one from which 
you wish to erase all images and other data.

Formatting Memory Cards

Please note that formatting (initializing) a memory card erases 
all data, including protected images and other file types.

 (Set up) Menu

[Format].

Select [OK] and press 

.

!

To perform a low level format, use the 

 button to select [Low Level 

Format] and the 

 or 

 button to 

add a check mark.

!

You can stop formatting a card when 
[Low Level Format] is selected by 
pressing the FUNC./SET button. You can still use a card 
without problem when formatting is halted, but its data will 
be erased.

Low Level Format
We recommend you select [Low Level Format] when you 
think that the recording/reading speed of a memory card has 
dropped. A low level format may require 2 to 3 minutes with 
some memory cards.
