Formatting Memory Cards
If this is the first time the memory card will be used in the
camera or if the card has been formatted in another device,
select Format memory card in the setup menu and follow
the on-screen instructions to format the card (
0 168). Note
that this permanently deletes any data the card may contain.
Be sure to copy any photographs and other data you wish to
keep to a computer before proceeding.

The Write Protect Switch
SD memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch to
prevent accidental loss of data. When this switch is in the
“lock” position, the memory card can not be formatted and
photos can not be deleted or recorded (a beep will sound if
you attempt to release the shutter). To unlock the memory
card, slide the switch to the “write” position.
