Adjusting Basic Camera Functions • You can assign the operating sounds and start-up image for your camera from the included software. Refer to the Software Guide (=30) for details. Formatting Memory Cards Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you should format the card with this camera. Formatting erases all data on a memory card.
