3 Formatting a Memory Card The memory card's capacity displayed on the Format screen may be lower than the capacity indicated on the card. Handling "Card Err" If "Card Err" is displayed on the LCD panel, it indicates a problem with the memory card that is preventing the image data from being recorded or read. Use another memory card instead. Or, if you have a memory card reader (commercially available), use it to transfer all the images from the card to a personal computer. After checking that all the images are in the personal computer, format the card with the camera. It may then return to normal. About Low-level Formatting Low-level formatting is possible only when [Card2] for the SD card is selected. If the writing speed to the SD card is slower than usual or if you want to completely erase the data in the SD card, checkmark [Low Level Format] and format the card. Since the entire card will be wiped out, the formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting. Press the button. In step 3 on page 133, press the button. X Checkmark the [Low Level Format] option. To cancel the checkmark, press the button again. With the [Low Level Format] option checkmarked, select [OK] to start the low-level formatting. Low-level formatting is not possible with [Card1] selected for the CF card. You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this case, normal formatting will have been completed and you can use the SD card as usual. 134
