The formatting function is used to erase all data on a memory

card. Before formatting a memory card, copy the data to a com-

puter or storage device. Locking images will not protect them from

being deleted when the card is formatted. Always format the mem-

ory 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

playback menu (p. 72), a confirmation screen appears. Choosing

“Yes” formats the card, choosing “No” cancels the formatting

operation. A screen appears to indicate the card has been format-

ted.

When a memory card is formatted, all data

on the card is erased.

A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-

to-use-card message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. If the card-error mes-

sage appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica

Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
