Formatting a Card on a Macintosh
Sometimes it may be more convenient to format a card in the Digital Media HS Reader/
Writer rather than in your original digital device. In some cases, your device may not have
a format option, or you may be required or prompted to format a card.
Caution:
Formatting a card completely erases any data stored on the card. If there are
important images or files you want to safeguard for later use, save a backup copy on your
hard drive, CD-R drive, or other type of removable media
before formatting a card.
