Low Level Memory Card Formatting
Perform low level formatting when you think that the recording/reading speed of a memory card has dropped. Low level formatting a memory card completely erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory card.

• Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting (p. 20), since all recorded data are erased.
•You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop]. When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the memory card can be used without problem.
