Formatting Memory Cards Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other devices, you should format the card with this camera.

Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 184), be sure to install the software contained on the card to a computer. Display the menu. z Press the n button. Choose [Format]. z Move the zoom lever to choose the 3 tab. z Press the op buttons or turn the 5 dial to choose [Format], then press the m button. Choose [OK]. z Press the qr buttons or turn the 5 dial to choose [OK], then press the m button. Format the memory card. z Press the op buttons or turn the 5 dial to choose [OK], then press the m button to start formatting. z When formatting ends, [Memory card formatting complete] appears on the screen.
