Low-LevelFormatting
Perform low-level formatting in these 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 1 of
“Formatting Memory Cards”
(=
176), press the <o><p>
buttons or turn the <5> dial to
choose [Low Level Format], and
then press the <q><r> buttons
to select this option. A [
] icon
is displayed.
Follow steps 2 – 3 in
“Formatting Memory Cards”
(=
176) to continue with the
formatting process.
• Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards”
(=
176), 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.
