Format SD memory cards to configure them for the Canon PowerShot A620.
When you first install a memory card, new or used, into a PowerShot A620 digital camera, Canon recommends that you configure the card before use to take advantage of certain camera features. You can configure the card by formatting it using the built-in "Format" function in the camera. Formatting a card is a simple process that takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools. Be aware that formatting a memory card erases any data on the card, but makes the card less likely to have problems later.
Instructions
1. Pull the memory card slot cover, located on the right side of the PowerShot A620, toward the back of the camera to open it.
2. Insert an SD memory card into the memory card slot and press it in until it locks in place. Close the memory card slot cover and press it toward the front of the camera to lock it.
3. Turn on the camera and press the "Menu" button on the camera.
4. Scroll down and highlight "Format" using the directional arrow controls on the camera. Press the "Func./Set" button.
5. Scroll up to "Format Type" using the directional arrow controls and press right until "Low Level Format" appears on the display.
6. Scroll down to "OK" using the arrow controls and press the "Func./Set" button to start the format process. Allow the card to format; this process typically takes between two and three minutes. A progress bar will appear while the camera configures the SD memory card.
