USING A MEMORY CARD

Memory Card Precautions
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can
restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we
recommend that you always take along more than one
memory card whenever using the camera far away from
the home or office.
• We recommend that you format a memory card before
using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever
the card you are using seems to be the cause of
abnormal images.
• As you record data to and delete data from an SD
memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to
retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of an
SD memory card is recommended.
• Before starting a format operation, check to make sure
that the batteries are fully charged. Power interruption
during the format operation can result in improper
formatting, and even damage the memory card and make
it unusable.
1. Load the memory card into the camera.
2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC
mode or PLAY mode, and press [MENU].
3. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and
then press [
̈].
4. Use [
̆] and [̄] to select “Format”, and then
press [SET].
• To exit the format operation without formatting,
select “Cancel”.
