Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the card and does not ensure its contents are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.

• The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen may be less than indicated on the memory card.

•Perform a low-level format (p. 167) of the memory card when the camera does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed of a memory card has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows down, or when movie recording stops suddenly.
