Formatting an SD Memory Card and the Built-in Memory

Formatting an SD Memory Card and the Built-in Memory

Formatting will delete all the data in the built-in memory or on the SD Memory Card.

If an SD Memory Card is in the camera, all its data will be deleted. If no SD Memory Card has been inserted in the camera, all the data in the builtin memory will be deleted.

Caution

•Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.

•A write-protected SD Memory Card cannot be formatted (p.19).

•Formatting will delete ALL data including protected images, sound files, and any other data recorded on the card.

•SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than this camera cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with this camera.

•If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD memory card you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. Please note that formatting the SD card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered using off the shelf data recovery software. There are off the shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will completely delete the data. In any case the data on your SD memory card should be managed at your own risk.
