Preparation
• Use a battery with sufficient battery power or the AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler
(optional) when formatting. Do not turn the camera off during formatting.
• If a card has been inserted, only the card is formatted. To format the built-in memory, remove
the card.
• If the card has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, format it on the camera again.
• It may take longer to format the built-in memory than the card.
• If the built-in memory or the card cannot be formatted, consult your nearest Service Center.
[FORMAT]
The built-in memory or card is formatted. Formatting irretrievably
deletes all the data so check the data carefully before formatting.
