The camera requires a memory card formatted using the FAT32 

file system. You can use the camera to format your card using 

this file system.
You should format your memory card at least one time every 6 

months to help extend the useful life of the memory card. You 

must also format a brand new memory card if it is not formatted 

using the FAT32 file system.

NOTE: 

Formatting the memory card deletes all videos, photos, 

and data on the card.
