Formatting your card

While you have probably already started to use your camera, make sure you are familiar with formatting the memory card. I highly recommend that you transfer to your computer any images you have already taken, and then format your card now, if you haven’t already. Every time you transfer a card of images to your computer, you should reformat your card to get it ready for your next set.

Updating your firmware

Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of your camera’s firmware. The 6D has many features that are brand new to DSLRs, such as built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. Updating the firmware will only improve the performance and functionality of your camera.
