CAUTION

Caution during formatting

i Do not turn off the power to the camera or eject the card during formatting.

Formatting erases the data

i When a card is formatted, all data recorded on the card is erased. Protected data (page 107) is also erased, so before formatting a card, any data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard disk or other storage medium.

Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from a reformatted card)

i If a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the camera or a computer, the card’s control data may be merely modified and the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.

i In some cases it may be possible to recover the data from a reformatted card using special software for that purpose. However, if the camera is used to execute a full format, it will be impossible to recover the data even by the use of data recovery software.

i If you are disposing of a card, it is recommended that you physically destroy it. If you are transferring the card to someone else to use, it is recommended that you use the camera’s full format function to reformat the card, or use commercially available software for erasing card data. Managing data is the responsibility of the user.
