How to format the memory card on the EOS Digital Rebel and EOS Digital Rebel XT.
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.
