IMPORTANT!

• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete

its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format
the card.

• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a memory card on

a computer and then using it in the camera can slow down data processing by the
camera. In the case of an SD or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can
result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility,
operation, etc.

• Before formatting a new Eye-Fi card to use it for the first time, copy the Eye-Fi

Manager install files to your computer. Do this before formatting the card.
