Formatting Internal Memory and Memory Cards
• Formatting the internal memory or memory cards permanently deletes all data. Be sure to
transfer important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• Do not turn the camera off, disconnect the AC adapter, or remove the battery or memory
card during formatting.
• The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into the COOLPIX S500,
format them.
