Formatting Memory Cards About formatting • The supplied memory card has already been formatted. • When the [Memory card error] message appears, or when the camera does not work correctly, formatting the memory card may solve the problem. Copy the images from the memory card to a computer or other device before formatting. Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks. • The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card. • Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all recorded data are erased. • You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop]. When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the memory card can be used without problem. 50
