Low-Level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card
error] is displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image
reading/writing is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie
recording suddenly stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on
a memory card. Before low-level formatting, copy images on the
memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.
●
On the screen in step 2
of “Formatting Memory
Cards” (
=
215), press the
[ ][ ] buttons to choose [Low
Level Format], and then press
the [ ][ ] buttons to select this
option. A [
] icon is displayed.
●
Follow steps 2 – 3 in “Formatting
Memory Cards” (
=
215) to
continue with the formatting
process.
●
Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory
Cards” (
=
215), because data is erased from all storage regions
of the memory card.
●
You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing
[Stop]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card
can be used normally.
