Description

Format the memory card in the EOS Digital Rebel and try again.

Solution

Format the CF card before using it in the camera.

Formatting a CF card will erase everything in the card including protected images. Before formatting a card, make sure there is nothing you need to retain. If necessary, transfer the images to a personal computer before formatting the card.


1. Select [Format].
  • Select the <> tab.
  • Press the <> keys to select [Format], then press <>.
  • A confirmation dialog will appear.
2. Format the CF card.
  • Press the <> keys to select [OK], then press <>.
  • The CF card will be formatted (initialized).
  • When the CF card formatting is completed, the menu will reappear.
  • A non-Canon CF card or a CF card formatted with another camera or personal computer might not work with the camera. In such a case, format the CF card with the camera first. Then it might work with the camera.
  • The CF card' s capacity displayed on the formatting screen may be lower than the capacity indicated on the card.
