Format
When you use a memory card with this camera for the first time, we recommend that you format the card using the
camera for stable performance of the memory card. Note that formatting permanently erases all data on the memory
card, and is unrecoverable. Save valuable data on a computer, etc.
The difference between quick formatting and full formatting
Perform full formatting when you feel like the speed of recording to the memory card or read-out from the memory card
has become slow, or when you want to erase data completely, etc.
Full formatting takes longer than quick formatting, because all areas of the memory card are initialized.
Hint
You can cancel full formatting before it is completed. Even if you cancel full formatting in the middle of the process, the data will
be erased, so you can use the memory card as is.
Note
The access lamp lights up during formatting. Do not remove the memory card while the access lamp is lit up.
Format the memory card on this camera. If you format the memory card on the computer, the memory card may not be usable
depending on the format type.
It may take a few minutes to complete formatting, depending on the memory card.
If the battery pack is extremely depleted, formatting cannot be performed. Use a sufficiently charged battery pack.
