Formatting a CF Card
You should format a new CF card or one from which you wish to erase all images
and other data.
• Please note that formatting (initializing) a CF card erases all data, including
protected images and other file types. Please check the contents of the CF card
before formatting it.

problem.

operate correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with this camera.
