Formatting the Memory Card
The device requires a memory card formatted using the FAT32 file system. You can use the device to format your card using this file system. You should format your memory card at least one time every 6 months to help extend the useful life of the memory card. You must also format a brand new memory card if it is not formatted using the FAT32 file system.
NOTE:
Formatting the memory card deletes all videos, photos, and data on the card.
When formatting is complete, the status LED turns red and the camera begins recording.
