Low-level Formatting
z

formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.

normal formatting will already be complete and you can use the card as usual.

Card’s file formats
SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be formatted
in exFAT.
When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie will be
recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple files) even if it
exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
z
If you format an SDXC card with this camera and then insert it into another
camera, an error may be displayed and the card may become unusable.
Certain computer operating systems or card readers may not recognize a
card formatted in exFAT.
z
When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management
information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be aware
of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, perform
low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to prevent personal data
from being leaked.
