An open SD slot in a digital camera looks like the one on a computer.
Most digital cameras save pictures on an internal memory card. This card is easy to remove from the camera and place into another device or a computer. This makes it easy to move your pictures from place to place. When your device tells you that the card needs to be formatted, this means that the card isn't properly set up to use yet. In order to format the card, you need to put it into a computer. Most laptops and newer desktop computers have a slot in which to put an SD card.
Instructions
1. Remove the card from your camera. Every camera works differently, but information on remove it can be found in the camera's manual.
2. Place the card into your computer's SD card reader, which is an opening about the size of a coin slot. You can also attach an external SD card reader to a USB port.
3. Open 'My Computer' and wait for the listing to refresh.
4. Right-click on the SD card and select 'Format.'
5. Click 'Format' or 'Start' at the bottom of the format window, you don't need to change any settings.
6. Wait for the format to complete.
7. Remove the card from the slot and put the card back into the camera.
