Formatting Cards (Initialization)

Format the cards with the camera before use in order to ensure optimal card performance.

When a card is formatted, all of the data stored in the card is erased and cannot be restored. Save a backup of necessary data before formatting the card.

[MENU/SET] [] [] Select [Card Format]

Settings: [Card Slot 1] / [Card Slot 2]

Do not turn off the camera or perform another operation during formatting.

Take care not to turn off the camera while formatting is in progress.

If the card has been formatted with a PC or other device, format it again with the camera.

You can format the card while keeping the camera settings information stored on the card:

[] [] [Save/Restore Camera Setting] [Keep Settings While Format] ([Save/Restore Camera Setting])
