Formatting Memor y Cards
Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, 
you should format the card with this camera.
Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy 
images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back 
them
 up.
1	 Access	the	[Format]	screen.
zzChoose [Format], and then press the 
 button.
2	 Choose	[OK].
zzPress the  buttons to choose 
[Cancel], press the  buttons to 
choose [OK], and then press the  
button.
3	 Format	the	memory	card.
zzTo begin the formatting process, press 
the  buttons to choose [OK], 
and then press the  button.
zzWhen formatting is finished, [Memory 
card formatting complete] is displayed. 
Press the  button.
•	 Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
management information on the card and does not erase the data 
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take 
steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically 
destroying cards.
•	 The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less t\
han 
the advertised capacity.
Low-Level	FormattingPerform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error]\
 is 
displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing is 
slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly stops. 
Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-level \
formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other 
steps to back them up.
zzOn the screen in step 2 of “Formatting 
Memory Cards” (=  11 7 ), press the 
 buttons to choose [Low Level 
Format], and then press the  
buttons to select this option. A [
] icon is 
displayed.
zzFollow steps 2 – 3 in “Formatting Memory 
Cards” (=  11 7 ) to continue with the 
formatting process.
•	 Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (\
 =  11 7), 
because data is erased from all storage regions of the memory card.
•	 You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing [Stop]. In th\
is 
case, all data will be erased, but the memory card can be used normally.

•	 Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be numbered\
 
consecutively after the last number of existing images on newly inserted\
 
memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an empty (or formatted 
(=
  11 7 )) memory card.
•	 Refer to “Software Instruction Manual” ( =  127) for information on the card 
folder structure and image formats.
Date-Based Image Storage
Instead of saving images in folders created each month, you can have the\
 
camera create folders each day you shoot to store shots taken that day.
zzChoose [Create Folder], and then choose 
[Daily].
zzImages will now be saved in folders 
created on the shooting date.
