The Basics
Formatting a Card
You should format a card if it was formatted incorrectly or if the data on the
card becomes corrupted. If you have used a card for several sessions (for
example, two or three dozen), you may want to format it on the camera you
will be using so that the full capacity of the card is available. (Deleting
images does not reclaim all space on the card.)
Cards are formatted in PC DOS format.
NOTE: In Advanced mode, both Quick Format and Secure Erase are
). In Basic mode, Quick Format is
available.
1. Insert a card.
2. Choose Format Card from the Basic menu.
3. Press the OK button. (Press the Cancel button to close the
confirmation screen without formatting the card.)
The Card Busy LCD and the CF Card icon on the Digital Status LCD
blink during formatting. When the blinking stops, formatting is
complete.
Shortcut:
