Other Points to Note

Media formatting

Do not format (initialize) memory cards with a computer. If you format a memory card with a computer, devices such as digital cameras and mobile phone may not be able to use it due to differences in format type (FAT size, cluster size, hard disk type, or super floppy disk type). If you use a digital camera, format memory cards with your camera, instead.
