formatted as this may damage the card and render it unusable.
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than the
camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with the
camera.
• Note that formatting will also delete protected files.
If formatting was performed in Playback mode, the camera returns
