Formatting Memory Cards
If the message at right is displayed, the memory card must be
formatted before use (
A 107). Note that formatting
permanently deletes all pictures and other data on the
memory card. Be sure to make copies of any pictures you wish to
keep before formatting the memory card.
Use the rotary multi selector to choose Yes and press
k. A
confirmation dialog will be displayed. To start formatting, choose
Format and press
k.
• Do not turn the camera off or open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until
formatting is complete.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into this camera, be sure to
format them with this camera ( A 107).

The Write Protect Switch
Memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch. When
this switch is in the “lock” position, data cannot be written to,
or deleted from, the memory card. If the switch is in the “lock”
position, unlock it by sliding the switch to the “write” position
to record or delete pictures, or to format the memory card.
• Be sure that the memory card’s write protect switch is in the
“write” position when transmitting pictures from the memory
card to the my Picturetown server using the wireless LAN function built into the COOLPIX S52c.
