CF Card Format

The memory card provided with your camera is
formatted at shipment. If you purchase additional
memory cards for added storage, you will
however need to format the cards before first use
to ensure that they work properly in your camera.
Formatting memory cards is also an effective way
of deleting all pictures on the card.
