Formatting Memory Cards

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been used in other devices, you should format the card with this camera. Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory card.

•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.
