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.
1. In the [
] menu, select [
(Format)] and press the <SET> button.
2. Select [OK] using the left or right button and press the <SET> button.
To cancel formatting instead, select [Cancel] and press the <SET> button.
- If the camera does not work properly, the inserted CF card may be malfunctioning. Reformatting the CF card may solve the problem.
- When a non-Canon brand CF card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.
- CF cards formatted in another camera, computer or peripheral device may not operate correctly. When that happens, reformat the CF card with this camera.
