Formatting a CF Card
Formatting a CF card will permanently erase
all data already on the card, including all of
its protected images. Before formatting a card
that has already been used, be sure to check
its contents.
If you decide that you do not want to
format the card at this time, select
[Cancel] instead.
• If the camera is not operating correctly, the
CF card may be corrupted. Formatting the
card may solve the problem.
• If you are using a CF card from another
manufacturer and the card is not functioning
correctly, you may be able to correct the
problem by formatting the card.
• CF cards that were formatted by another
camera or by a computer may not operate
correctly until you format them in the
camera as described above.
