    card.
     If you press [MENU/SET] while 
    formatting the built-in memory, the 
    formatting will stop halfway. (However, 
    all the pictures will be deleted.)
     Formatting irretrievably deletes all the 
    data including any protected pictures. 
    Check the data carefully before 
    formatting.
     If the card has been formatted on a PC or 
    other equipment, format it on the camera 
    again.
     Use a battery with sufficient battery power 
    (P21) or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; 
    optional) when formatting.
     Do not turn the camera off during 
    formatting.
     It may take longer to format the built-in 
    memory than the card. (Max. about 
    15 sec.)
     You cannot format an SD Memory Card or 
    an SDHC Memory Card when the card’s 
    Write- Protect switch A is set to [LOCK].

    3JPG: pictures
    MOV: motion pictures
    MISC: Folder containing files on which the 
    DPOF print settings are recorded
    The items in each folder are as follows.
     The data for up to 999 pictures recorded 
    by the camera can be included in 1 folder. 
    If the number of pictures exceeds 999, 
    another folder is created.
     To reset the file number or the folder 
    number, select [NO.RESET] in the 
    [SETUP] menu. (P19)∫Conditions under which a different 
    folder number is used
    In the following cases, the picture is not 
    recorded in the same folder as the 
    previously recorded picture. It is recorded 
    in a folder with a new number. 
    1When the folder just recorded to contains 
    a picture file with the number 999 in it 
    (example: P1000999.JPG).
    2When the card just recorded to contains, 
    for example, a folder with the number 
    100 [100_PANA] in it and that card is 
    removed and replaced with a card that 
    has a folder with the number 100 in it 
    recorded by a camera from a different 
    maker (100XXXXX, with XXXXX being 
    the name of the maker) and then a 
    picture is recorded.
    3When recording after selecting 
    [NO.RESET] (P19) from the [SETUP] 
    menu. (Pictures will be recorded to a 
    new folder with a number sequential to 
    the folder recorded to immediately 
    before. By using [NO.RESET] on a card 
    that does not contain folders or pictures, 
    such as one just formatted, the folder 
    number can be reset to 100.)
    ∫About the PTP connection
    If the OS is “Windows XP” or “Mac OS X”, 
    you can connect in PTP mode if you set the 
    camera to [ ] mode and then connect to 
    your PC.
