FORMATTING THE MEMORY CARD(S)
It is not normally necessary to format (initialize) a memory card that has
already been used. However, when an unformatted card or a card formatted
in another device (e.g. a computer) is used for the first time, it must be for-
matted.
Important:
When formatting, all existing data on the card is not necessarily irretrievably
lost.
It may be possible to access some of the data again using appropriate soft-
ware. Only the data that is then overwritten by saving new data is actually
permanently deleted.
Notes:
• Do not turn the camera o while memory cards are being formatted.
• If the memory card has been formatted in another device, such as a com-
puter, you should reformat it in the Leica S.
• If the memory card cannot be formatted, you should ask your dealer or
Leica Information Service (address, see p. 74) for advice.
• Even protected pictures (see previous section) are deleted when format-
ting the memory card.
Setting the function
1. In the
SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select Format (5.20), and
2. then which of the two cards you want to format, or both, in the submenu.
• To prevent unintentional settings, a corresponding query appears in the
monitor.
3. Press the click wheel (1.18) or the joystick forwards (1.17) to confirm that
you really want to format the memory card(s).
