Low Level Memory Card Formatting

Perform low level formatting when you think that the recording/reading speed of a memory card has dropped.

Performing a low-level format on a memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before performing a low-level format.
