Hello,

This screen is appearing at start up because the camera is initialising/starting up with the memory card that has been inserted within - it isn't usually a feature that can be switched on/off.

Thanks

Hello,

You're very welcome!.

Another possibility could be that the card you are currently using might benefit from being formatted (once you have backed up any existing photos/other files on there). This may improve access speed if the card hasn't been formatted in a while.

Thanks,

Simon

found it you have to go into menu - setup - then go down menu and click initialize and that sorts it again many thanks
