Low-Level Formatting

Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error] is

displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing

is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly

stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-

level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take

other steps to back them up.

On the screen in step 2 of “Formatting

Memory Cards” (= 139), press the [ ]

button to choose [Low Level Format]. A

[ ] icon is displayed.

Follow step 2 in “Formatting Memory

Cards” (= 139) to continue with the

formatting process.

Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory
Cards” (= 139), because data is erased from all storage regions
of the memory card.

You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing
[Cancel]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card
can be used normally.

Changing the Video System

Set the video system of any television used for display. This setting

determines the image quality (frame rate) available for movies.

Choose [Video system] on the [ 1] tab,

and then choose an option.

Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be
numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images
on newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001,
use an empty (or formatted, = 139) memory card.

Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device,

you should format the card with this camera.
Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy

images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back

them up.

1

Access the [Format] screen.

Choose [Format] on the [ 1] tab, and

then press the [ ] button.

2

Choose [OK].

Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [OK],

and then press the [ ] button.

The memory card is now formatted.

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.
