Reformatting a disk
When a disk is used for the first time,“REFORMAT?” appears (see page 156) and you automatically start the formatting process. However, depending on the condition of the disk, this message may not appear. To format the disk in such a case, follow the procedure given below.
Also, even for disks that have been formatted with the digital disk camera before, data may become corrupt or the disk may become reformatted by a computer making the disk unusable with the digital disk camera. If this happens, formatting the disk with the digital disk camera may make the disk usable again.
There are two types of formatting available with your digital disk camera.
Quick format: | For quickly erasing all the data on the disk. |
Full format: | Before capturing important images, to ensure that images are captured properly, |
| it is recommended to perform a full format beforehand. |
Important
Be aware that if the disk is reformatted, all the data currently stored on the disk, even protect data (see page 152), will be erased.
