How do I format a new SD card for a camera?

To format a new SD card for a camera, insert the card into the camera and navigate to the settings menu. Look for the option to format the card, which may be labeled as "format SD card" or something similar. Select this option and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the formatting process. Keep in mind that formatting will erase all data on the card, so make sure to back up any important files before proceeding.
