Before you use a new memory card or one that has been used in other
devices, you should format the card with this camera. Formatting (initializing)
a memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve
the erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory
card.
Display the menu.
● Press the n button.
Select [Format].
● Press the qr buttons to select the 3
tab.
● Press the op buttons or turn the  dial
to select [Format], then press the m
button.
Format the memory card.
● Press the qr buttons or turn the  dial
to select [OK], then press the m button.
X The memory card will be formatted.
X When formatting has finished, the menu
screen will reappear.
Formatting Memory Cards
• Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents
are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
• The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
