Formatting the card
Notes
• The time required to format a card varies
according to the capacity of the card to be
formatted.
Do not interrupt the formatting process with the
following actions. Doing so may damage the data
or the card.
- Remove the card.
- Remove the battery.
• Formatting the card will erase all the stored data,
including locked files.
• When an unformatted card is inserted, the format
menu will be displayed automatically.
• Locked SD cards cannot be initialized.
• Memory cards will be formatted using quick
format. Formatting the card will reset the
information in file management, but the data
inside the card may not be deleted completely.
Be careful of data leakage when disposing or
handing of the card. We recommend that you
physically destroy the card when disposing of it.
