FORMATTING MEMORY CARDS
The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card. Before formatting a card, copy
the data to a computer or storage device. Locking files will not protect them from being deleted when
the card is formatted. Always format the memory card using the camera; never use a computer to for-
mat a card.
When the format option is selected and entered, a confirmation screen will appear. Choosing “Yes”
will format the card, choosing “No” will cancel the formatting operation. never remove the card while it
is being formatted. A screen will appear to indicate the card has been formatted; press the central
button of the controller to return to the playback menu.
If the card-not-recognized message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be format-
ted. A memory card used in another camera may need to be formatted before being used. If the
unable-to-use-card message appears, the card is not compatible with the camera and should not be
formatted.
When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.
Innovation and creativity has always been a driving
force behind Minolta products. The Electro-zoom X
was purely an exercise in camera design. It was
unveiled at Photokina in Germany in 1966.
The Electro-zoom X was an electronically controlled
aperture-priority mechanical SLR with a built-in 30 –
120mm f/3.5 zoom lens giving twenty 12 X 17mm
images on a roll of 16mm film. The shutter-release
button and battery chamber are located in the grip.
Only a few prototypes were built making it one of
Minolta’s rarest cameras.
