Notes on Formatting Memory/Card
• During formatting, do not turn the camera off or remove the battery or memory card.
• Format new memory cards with the Format option before recording pictures on them.
• Shooting and deleting pictures repeatedly without regular formatting reduces the performance
of memory cards. We recommend formatting memory cards regularly to maintain their perfor-
mance.
• Format is not available when the battery level is low.
