FormattingDrives

Formatting initializes the hard disk drive or an SD card. Formatting (see “Glossary” p.197) completely erases all the images and albums created on the hard disk drive or SD card.

ATTENTION

You should connect the AC adapter when formatting the hard disk drive or an SD card.

Formatting also erases protected images. It also erases all other data on the

media. Always check carefully before formatting the hard disk drive or an SD card.

See “Protecting Images” p.112.

A faulty SD card or hard disk drive cannot be formatted correctly.

Always format an SD card on the camera before using it for the first time. You should also format SD cards periodically to remove any fragmented files and maximize the available storage capacity.
