Formatting

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

z 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.

z 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.

 

z Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory

 

card. Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card

 

merely changes the file management information on the

 

card and does not ensure that its contents are completely

 

deleted.

 

When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such

 

as physically destroying the card, to prevent personal

Appendix

information leaks.
