To format a memory card
When using the memory card for the rst time, you must format
the card before using it.

card includes data, backup the data before formatting it.

To use a card to exchange data with a digital device such •
as a digital camera, formatting the data using the digital
device is recommended.
When you try to use a card, which is formatted in the •
computer, in another digital device, you may have to
format the card again in the device.
You cannot format, write or delete data from a SD, or SDHC •
card with a write protection tab when it is in the Lock
