• When a card is not inserted, you can
format the built-in memory. When a
card is inserted, you can format the
card.
• If you press [MENU/SET] while
formatting the built-in memory, the
formatting will stop halfway. (However,
all the pictures will be deleted.)
• Formatting irretrievably deletes all the
data including any protected pictures.
Check the data carefully before
formatting.
• If the card has been formatted on a PC or
other equipment, format it on the camera
again.
• Use a battery with sufficient battery power
or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC7PP;
optional) when formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off during
formatting.
• It may take longer to format the built-in
memory than the card. (Max. about
15 sec.)
• You cannot format an SD Memory Card or
an SDHC Memory Card when the card’s
Write-Protect switch
is set to [LOCK].
• If the built-in memory or the card cannot
be formatted, consult your nearest
Service Center.
