If the card-not-recognized message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be format-
ted. A card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-to-
use-card message appears, the card is not compatible with the camera and cannot be formatted.
A card is formatted in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 96). When a card is formatted, all the
data on the card is permanently erased.
The response time during recording and playback is longer with
MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a
defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When
using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take
longer.
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent image
data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the
card, the data will be protected. However, when the card is pro-
tected, images cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made to
record or delete an image with the camera, the card-locked mes-
sage will appear on the monitor and the orange flash lamp near
the viewfinder will blink quickly. For memory card care and storage
see page 122.
