Cautions for Touch Screen Operations Since the LCD monitor is not pressu re sensitive, do not use any sharp 
objects, such as your fi ngernail or a ballpoint pe n, for touch operations.
  Do not use wet fingers for touch screen operations.
  If the LCD monitor has an y moisture or if your fingers are wet, the touch 
screen may not resp ond or misoperation may occu r. In such a case, turn 
off the power and wipe the  LCD monitor with a cloth.
  Do not attach any protec tive sheet (commercially  available) or sticker on 
the LCD monitor. It may make the  touch operation response slow.
  If you quickly perform  touch operation when [ Sensitive] is set, the touch 
response may be slower.

 The card is new.
  The card was formatted by a diff erent camera or a computer.
  The card is full with images or data.
  A card-related error is displayed  (p.432).
Format the card in the following cases:
Low-level Formatting Perform low-level formatti ng if the card’s recording or reading speed seems 
slow or if you want to  erase all data on the card.
  Since low-level formatting  will format all recordable sectors on the card, the 
formatting will take slightly  longer than normal formatting.
  You can stop the low-level  formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this 
case, normal formatting  will be completed and yo u can use the card as 
usual.
  When the card is formatted or data  is erased, only the file management 
information is changed. The actual  data is not completely erased. Be 
aware of this when selling or disc arding the card. When discarding the 
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to 
prevent the personal da ta from being leaked.
  Before using a ne w Eye-Fi card, the software  on the card must be 
installed in your comp uter. Then format the card with the camera.
 The card capacity displa yed on the card format screen may be smaller 
than the capacity in dicated on the card.
