Canon I7 appendix Formatting, 118

Formatting

Please note that formatting (initializing) an memory card erases all data, including protected images.

You are recommended to use memory cards that have been formatted in your camera.

•The card supplied with the camera may be used without further formatting.

•When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.

•When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning, reformatting it may solve the problem.

•Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.

If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the camera back on and format again.

Data on a card is not completely erased even when the card is formatted or images are erased because these processes merely change the file management data. Please note this fact when transferring ownership or disposing of cards. Take care to destroy the card when disposing of it to prevent the leakage of personal data.
