You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.
1. Press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn on the camera and then press [SET].
2. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the second Control Panel option from the
bottom (MENU) and then press [SET] (page 30).
3. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the “Set Up” tab.
4. Use [ ] and [ ] to select “Format” and then press [ ].
5. Use [ ] and [ ] to select “Format” and then press [SET].
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, SDHC, or SDXC memory card, formatting on a
computer can result in non-conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.
