If your business requires you to take frequent product or event photos, you may periodically need to format the SD card in your Fuji camera to erase the card quickly after transferring photos to your computer. Formatting a memory card deletes all of the files stored on it immediately. You can format an SD card using the menu system on your Fuji camera or by inserting it in your computer's card reader.

Fuji Camera

1. Push the "Menu/OK" button in the center of your camera's control pad to display the main menu. If you have a phone with a touchscreen interface, touch the "Menu" option to display the menu.

2. Select the wrench icon with the directional pad or tap "SET" on touchscreen Fuji cameras.

3. Move the selector down by pressing the directional pad or tapping the down arrow on the screen. Select the "Format" option.

4. Push the "Menu/OK" button or tap the "OK" option on the screen to format the inserted memory card.

PC Card Reader

1. Insert the SD card fully into your computer's memory card reader. If you are using an external card reader, connect the card reader to your computer before inserting the memory card.

2. Open the Start menu and click "Computer." You should see the SD card displayed with a label such as "SD/MMC" and a letter assignment such as "F:".

3. Right-click the icon for the memory card and select "Format" on the context menu.

4. Type a label for the SD card in the "Volume Label" field. To maintain compatibility with your digital camera, do not change the default settings for the card's file system or allocation unit size.

5. Click the "Start" button to format the SD card.
