INITIALIZING THE CARD MEMORY AND INTERNAL MEMORY
A card must be formatted with this camera:
iAfter purchasing, when used for the first time, or
iIf it was formatted using a personal computer or another digital camera.
The card cannot be reformatted if the lock switch is set to the “LOCK” 
position. Proceed with the reformat procedure after setting the lock switch to 
the unlocked position.
1 To reformat a card, install it in the camera. To reformat the camera’s 
internal memory, remove the card from the camera.
2 Display the Option Menu (page 82).
3 Select “FORMAT” and press the 
SET button.

hThe screen to select the type of 
format appears.
hFollow steps 4 to 6.
FORMAT:
A normal formatting is executed.
FULL FORMAT:
The entire card is scanned and 
reformatted. It is not possible to 
select this when there is no card 
installed, or when the remaining 
battery charge is low.

hThe Confirm Format Screen appears.
5 Select “YES”.
6 Press the SET button.
hFormatting begins.
hDuring formatting, “FORMATTING” and “DO NOT POWER OFF” are 
shown on the monitor.
CAUTION
Caution during reformatting
iPlease do not turn off the camera or insert/remove the card while the card 
is being formatted.
Reformatting erases the data
iWhen the card or internal memory is initialized, all the recorded data is 
erased. Protected data is also erased, so before reformatting a card, any 
data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard 
disk or other storage medium.
Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from 
a reformatted card)
iIf a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the 
camera or a computer, the card’s control data may be merely modified and 
the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.
iIn some cases it may be possible to recover the data from a reformatted 
card using special software for that purpose. However, if the camera is 
used to execute a full format, it will be impossible to recover the data even 
by the use of data recovery software.
iIf you are disposing of a card, it is recommended that you physically 
destroy it. If you are transferring the card to someone else to use, it is 
recommended that you use the camera’s full format function to reformat 
the card, or use commercially available software for erasing card data. 
Managing data is the responsibility of the user.

You can check the possible number of images, audio recording time and 
video clip recording time remaining on the card. For a table showing the

for a specific card, please see “Possible Number of Images/Video Recording 
Time/Audio Recording Time” on page 128.
1 Press the ON/OFF button to turn the 
camera on.

CHECKING THE REMAINING INTERNAL MEMORY 
AND CARD MEMORY
For audio data
1 Set the camera to the audio 
recording mode (page 59).
hThe remaining audio recording time 
is shown.
HINT
iWhen the remaining number of images or the remaining video recording 
time is “0”, you cannot capture any more images. To capture more images, 
either install a new card, or save the images to a computer and then erase 
them (page 37) from the card.
iWhen the remaining number of images or the remaining video recording 
time is “0”, it may be possible to capture a few more images by changing 
the resolution setting or video clip mode setting (page 58).
iThe maximum number of images is 9,999, and the maximum video/audio 
recording time is 99:59:59. Note that if a large-capacity card is used, the 
remaining number of images or recording time may not be correctly 
displayed.

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE
When using batteries, the remaining battery charge can be checked on the 
monitor. Make sure to check this indicator before capturing an image. For an 
indication of the possible length of time for battery operation, see page 127.
1 Press the ON/OFF button to turn the 
camera on.
hThe battery remaining charge 
indicator appears in the lower right 
corner of the monitor.
hDue to the battery characteristics, 
when the ambient temperature is 
low,   may appear early for an 
incorrect indication of the remaining 
charge.
Also, depending on the conditions 
of use of the camera or the ambient 
conditions (temperature, etc.), the 
indicated remaining charge may 
change. Therefore, this indication 
can only be used as a general 
approximation of the remaining 
charge.

CHECKING THE REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE
HINT
iIf any data is present, you can also check the remaining battery charge on 
the Information Screen (page 81).
iBattery life may differ even among batteries of the same type.
iDepending on the usage of the camera (such as the number of times the 
flash is used, etc.) or the ambient temperature (temperatures below 10°C 
[50°F]) the number of images that can be saved on fully charged batteries 
will vary greatly.
iIt is recommended that you prepare extra batteries when taking pictures at 
a wedding or while traveling, for example, so you don’t miss capturing 
images of important moments due to the battery power running out. The 
same is recommended for taking photos in cold environments. (In a ski 
area, for example, the batteries can be kept warm in your pocket until 
ready to use.)
