Storing images in memory
43
The images are copied from internal memory to the CF 
memory card. Your images are still stored in internal memory 
until you delete them. If you have created a print order for 
those images, the print order is copied to the CF memory card 
along with the images.
Formatting memory
The internal memory installed in your digital camera is formatted 
at the factory. Under ordinary circumstances, you do not need to 
format it. However, if the camera does not store images properly, 
you might want to try formatting the internal memory.
CAUTION
Formatting deletes everything stored in memory.
Most CF memory cards are already formatted when you buy them. 
However, if you buy a CF memory card that has not been 
formatted, you need to format it before you can store images on it. 
If you insert a new, formatted card in the camera and it doesn’t 
work, try reformatting it—it might have been formatted improperly. 
Also reformat cards that were previously used in a different 
camera to optimize them for use with your camera. 
Note
You can reuse a CF memory card that is full by 
formatting it. This deletes all images and files from 
the card. You can also use the Delete menu to 
delete one or all images from a CF memory card. 
To format internal memory or a CF memory card
1 Turn on the camera.
2 Press the
dial twice to open the main menu.
3 Turn the
dial to scroll to the Delete icon, and then
press the
dial to open the Delete menu.
4 Turn the
dial to scroll to Format Memory or, if a
CF memory card is installed, scroll to Format CF Card, and 
then press the
dial.
5 Turn the
dial to select Yes, and then press the
dial.
