Formatting will delete all the data in the built-in memory or on the SD
Memory Card.
If an SD Memory Card is in the camera, all its data will be deleted. If no
SD Memory Card has been inserted in the camera, all the data in the built-
in memory will be deleted.
Caution
•
Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the
card and render it unusable.
•
A write-protected SD Memory Card cannot be formatted (p.19).
• Formatting will delete ALL data including protected images, sound files, and
any other data recorded on the card.
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than this camera
cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with this camera.
• If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD memory card you
should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card
itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. Please
note that formatting the SD card will not necessarily delete the data so that
it cannot be recovered using off the shelf data recovery software. There are
off the shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will
completely delete the data. In any case the data on your SD memory card
should be managed at your own risk.
