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

•The memory 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.

zIf 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.

zBe 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 memory card and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal information leaks.
