Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file
management information on the card and does not erase the data
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards,
take steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by
physically destroying cards.
●
The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be
less than the advertised capacity.
Low-Level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error] is
displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing
is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly
stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-
level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take
other steps to back them up.
●
On the “Formatting Memory Cards”
screen (
=
102), press the
button to
display [
].
●
To begin the formatting process, choose
[OK].
●
Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory
Cards” (

of the memory card.
●
You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing
[Cancel]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card
can be used normally.
●
For maximum brightness, press and hold the
button for at
least one second when the shooting screen is displayed or when
in single-image display. (This will override the [Disp. brightness]
setting on the [
] tab.) To restore the original brightness, press
and hold the
button again for at least one second or restart
the camera.
