M Format Memory/O Format Card
Format the internal memory or a memory card.
Formatting the Internal Memory
If no memory card is inserted, this option is labeled
[Format memory] and formats internal memory.
Remove the memory card from the camera to for-
mat the internal memory.
Formatting a Memory Card
If a memory card is inserted, the option is labeled
[Format card] and formats the memory card.
j Formatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
• Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to
transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off, disconnect the AC charger, or remove the battery or memory
card during formatting.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX S7c, for-
mat them with [Format]. Repeated recording and deleting of pictures without regular for-
matting reduces memory card performance.
• Regular formatting of memory cards is recommended to maintain maximum performance.
• [Format] is not available when the battery is low.
Quick format
Formats only portions of the memory card containing data.
Format
Formats the entire memory card including portions with no recorded data.
