Formatting a Card 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
available. In Basic mode, Quick Format is available.
1. Insert a card.
2. Choose Format Card from the Basic menu, then choose CF Card or
MM Card.
3. Press the OK button. (Press the Cancel button to close the
confirmation screen without formatting the card.)
The Card Busy LCD and the Card icon on the Digital Status LCD blink
during formatting. When the blinking stops, formatting is complete.
Shortcut:
• You can also access this function using the Hotkey shortcut.
