 Usually, it is not necessary to format the 
built-in memory and the card. Format 
them when the message [BUILT-IN 
MEMORY ERROR] or [MEMORY CARD 
ERROR] appears.
 If the built-in memory or the card has been 
formatted by a PC or other equipment, 
format it on the camera again.
 Once the built-in memory or the card is 
formatted, all data including protected 
images are irretrievably erased. Please 
confirm that all data is transferred to 
your PC before proceeding with format 
function.
 During formatting, do not turn the camera 
off.
 When you format the built-in memory or 
the card, use batteries with sufficient 
battery power (P14) or AC adaptor 
(DMW-AC1; optional).
 When the SD Memory Card Write-Protect 
switch is slid to [LOCK], you cannot format 
the card.
 It may take longer to format the built-in 
memory than the card. (Max. about 
15 sec.)
 If the built-in memory or the card cannot 
be formatted, consult your nearest 
servicenter.

∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
When the printer supports the date printing 
by DPOF setting, we recommend setting 
the date printing with the DPOF print in 
advance. (P73) The recording date can be 
printed by selecting [DPOF PICTURE] to 
start printing.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection 
cable when the cable disconnection 
warning icon [ ] is indicated.
 When the [¥] indication lights in orange 
during printing, the camera is receiving an 
error message from the printer. Make sure 
there is no malfunction on the printer after 
finishing printing.
 In DPOF print, if the total number of prints 
or the number of printed pictures is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. 
(The indication of the remaining number of 
prints is different from the setting, 
however, this is not a malfunction.)
 The setting on the printer may have 
priority over the setting on the camera in 
the date print. Also check the date print 
setting on the printer.
 If the printer does not support date 
printing, the date cannot be printed on the 
picture.∫Layout printing
 When printing a picture several times 
on 1 sheet of paper
For example, if you want to print a picture 
4 times on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set the 
number of prints to 4 for the picture on 
[NUM. OF PRINTS].
 When printing different pictures on 
1 sheet of paper (only in DPOF 
printing)
For example, if you want to print 4 different 
pictures on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set the 
number of prints to 1 on [COUNT] in 
DPOF print setting (P72) for each of the 
4pictures.
