Formatting a Card
When using the memory card for the first
time, you must format the card before
using it.

saved on the card. If the card
includes data, backup the data
before formatting it.

select Format from the pop-up menu.

If you click Start, formatting will begin.
 To use a card to exchange data
with a digital device such as a
digital camera, formatting the
data using the digital device is
recommended.
 When you try to use a card, which
is formatted in the computer, in
another digital device, you may
have to format the card again in
the device.
 You cannot format, write or delete
data from a SD, or SDHC card
with a write protection tab when it
is in the Lock position.
 Inserting and removing a memory
card repeatedly may damage the
memory card.
