Formatting Memory Cards
Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you

An Eye-Fi card ( = 101 ) contains software on the card itself. Before
formatting an Eye-Fi card, install the software on a computer.

button.

• Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file
management information on the card and does not erase the data
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take
steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically
destroying cards.
• The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less than
the advertised capacity.
