Quick Start Basics
You need to format a new memory card before using it for the first time.
1. Load a memory card (page 26).
2. Turn on the camera and then touch “MENU”.
• If “MENU” is not displayed on the screen, touch the tab to display it (page 35).
3. Drag upwards and downwards until you find “Setup”, and then touch it.
4. Touch “Format”.
5. Touch “Format” and then touch “Yes”.
This starts the memory card format operation.
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.
• 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.
