About Formatting
• Before formatting an SD memory card, select "Use" for [SD memory card] (→ page 13) and "OFF" for
[FTP periodic transmission] (→ page 57).
• Always format the SD memory card from the [SD memory card] tab. Failure to format from the [SD
memory card] tab may result in the following functions operating improperly.
• Save/obtain images that have failed to transmit to the FTP server using the FTP periodic transmission
function.
• Save/obtain images taken at alarm occurrences.
• Save/obtain images recorded using the SD memory recording function of Panasonic's network disk
recorder.
• It is impossible to access the SD memory card during formatting.
• All data saved on an SD memory card will be deleted when the SD memory card is formatted.
• Do not turn the camera off during formatting.
• After formatting the SD memory card, the available size displayed may be smaller than the total size since
the default directory required for operation is automatically created in the SD memory card.
• Operation has already been confirmed on the following SD memory cards:*
Panasonic SD memory cards (64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB)
* SDHC memory cards are not supported.
• Insert a new SD memory card or one already formatted according to the SD standard.
