CAUTION

Caution during reformatting

i Please do not turn off the camera or insert/remove the card while the card is being formatted.

Reformatting erases the data

i When the card or internal memory is initialized, all the recorded data is erased. Protected data is also erased, so before reformatting a card, any data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard disk or other storage medium.

Can data be restored after a card is formatted?

i It may be possible to restore data from a reformatted card by using application software designed to restore data. However, even such application software cannot restore data after a full format has been executed. It is recommended that a full format be executed before you dispose of a card or transfer it to someone else.
