Formatting a Memory Card

You can format a memory card to delete all of the data stored on it.

IMPORTANT!

•Formatting a memory card deletes all images on the card, even if some or all of the images are protected (page E-112).

•Formatting a memory card deletes all Best Shot Mode scene sample images stored on it. After deleting the card, you have to import the scenes you want to the memory card (page E-72).

•Data deleted by a memory card format operation can- not be recovered! Be sure to carefully check and con- firm that you no longer need the data stored in a memory card before formatting it.
