About Formatting
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents
are completely deleted. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
• The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the [Format] screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
• Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all
recorded data are erased.
• You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop].
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the
memory card can be used without problem.
