My Sony Cyber-Shot R1 camera uses ATP CF (Compact Flash) memory card or memory stick to store all the digital specification of digital photos. Once when I tried to view the snapped pictures stored in it, I have encountered with an error message which says “Error30: Format CF card before use”. After the occurrence of this error message the files stored in the ATP CF memory card become inaccessible. I don’t know what to do, since I am experiencing this error first time. If anyone of you know something about it then please let me know. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated. Thank you.

“Error30: Format CF card before use” error message has also troubled me a lot with my new Nikon digital camera. To resolve this issue I really worked hard and explored that this error occurs when there are multiple files and folders in the CF memory stick, which indicates that memory card was not formatted before the firmware update was transferred.

The only way to resolve this issue is by formatting the memory card. It is quite obvious that when you will format the CF memory stick your all data stored in it will be deleted and in order to recover those lost data completely you need to use Photo Recovery software whose advanced scanning algorithm, will recover and restore your lost data completely.
