Formatting will cause all images to be deleted, even if file deletion is disabled (“On” selected for “Ü Disabled” (page 148)) for some images.

Make sure the camera’s battery is sufficiently charged before starting a formatting operation. Formatting may not be performed correctly and the camera may stop operating normally if the camera powers down while formatting is in progress.
