     ●Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
    management information on the card and does not erase the data 
    completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, 
    take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by 
    physically destroying cards.
     ●The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be 
    less than the advertised capacity.
    Low-Level Formatting
    Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error] is 
    displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing 
    is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly 
    stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-
    level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take 
    other steps to back them up.
     zOn the screen in step 1 of “Formatting 
    Memory Cards” ( = 154), press the 
    [][] buttons or turn the [] dial to 
    choose [Low Level Format], and then 
    press the [
    ][] buttons to select this 
    option. A [] icon is displayed.
     z Follow steps 2 – 3 in “Formatting Memory 
    Cards” ( = 154) to continue with the 
    formatting process.
     ● Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory 
    Cards” ( = 154), because data is erased from all storage regions 
    of the memory card.
     ● You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing 
    [Stop]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card 
    can be used normally.
    Start-Up Screen
    Customize the start-up screen shown after you turn the camera on as follows.
     zChoose [Start-up Image], and then press 
    the [] button.
     zPress the [][] buttons or turn the [] 
    dial to choose an option.
    Formatting Memory Cards
    Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you 
    should format the card with this camera.
    Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy images 
    on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.
    1 Access the [Format] screen.
     z Choose [Format], and then press the [] 
    button.
    2 Choose [OK].
     z Press the [][] buttons to choose 
    [Cancel], choose [OK] (either press the 
    [
    ][] buttons or turn the [] dial), and 
    then press the [] button.
    3 Format the memory card.
     z To begin the formatting process, press 
    the [][] buttons or turn the [] dial 
    to choose [OK], and then press the [] 
    button.
     z When formatting is finished, [Memory 
    card formatting complete] is displayed. 
    Press the [
    ] button.

    MF indicator ( = 81), and elsewhere from m/cm to ft/in as needed.
     z
    Choose [Units], and then choose [ft/in].
    Electronic Level Calibration
    Calibrate the electronic level if it seems ineffective in helping you level the 
    camera.

    level the camera in advance.
    1 Make sure the camera is level.

    File Numbering
    Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999) 
    and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change 
    how the camera assigns file numbers.
     z Choose [File Numbering], and then 
    choose an option.
    Continuous Images are numbered consecutively (until the 9999th 
    shot is taken/saved) even if you switch memory cards.
    Auto Reset Image numbering is reset to 0001 if you switch memory 
    cards, or when a new folder is created.
     ●
    Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be 
    numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images 
    on newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, 
    use an empty (or formatted ( =
     154)) memory card. ●
    Refer to “Software Instruction Manual” ( = 163) for information 
    on the card folder structure and image formats.
    Date-Based Image Storage
    Instead of saving images in folders created each month, you can have the 
    camera create folders each day you shoot to store shots taken that day .
     zChoose [Create Folder], and then choose 
    [Daily].
     zImages will now be saved in folders 
    created on the shooting date.
