82 SETUP MENU
FORMATTING MEMORY CARDS
The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory card. Before formatting a
memory card, copy the data to a computer or storage device. Locking images will not
protect them from being deleted when the card is formatted. Formatting the memory card
does not erase Favorites files since they are stored in the camera memory. Always format
the memory card using the camera; never use a computer to format a card.
When the format option is selected and entered in section 1 of the setup menu (p. 78); a
confirmation screen will appear. Choosing “Yes” will format the card, choosing “No” will
cancel the formatting operation. A screen will appear to indicate the card has been
formatted.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to
be formatted. A memory card used in another camera may also have to be formatted
before being used.
When a memory card is formatted, all data on the card is erased.
The brightness of the LCD monitor can be set
in eleven levels. The brightness setting
screen is opened from section 1 of the setup
menu (p. 78). Move the controller left and
right (1) to adjust the brightness, the monitor
image will change accordingly. Press the
controller (2) to set the brightness level.
