maxasst Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 This camera is new to me. I placed a spankin new Sandisk Extreme compact flash card, I went through the Menu to find "Format" and clicked on the box to confirm the command. The display showed "Busy" then it went back to Menu. I didn't read anything to demonstrate success or failure of the formatting procedure. I repeated it a few times and got the same response. I used the camera last night and it seems to be working just fine, although I only took 16 images. I read somewhere here that if the card is not formatted correctly it will shut down or seem full prematurely. Did I format the compact flash card correctly?

phule Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 There is no confirmation of the format by the camera. It does its job and returns you to the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
