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.
An Eye-Fi card ( = 216 ) contains software on the card itself.
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card, install the software on a
computer.
