OPTION SETTINGS
Initializing the card memory and internal
memory
A card must be formatted with this camera:
iAfter purchasing, when used for the first time, or
iIf it was formatted using a personal computer or another digital camera.
The card cannot be reformatted if the lock switch is set to the “LOCK”
position. Proceed with the reformat procedure after setting the lock switch to
the unlocked position.
CAUTION
Caution during reformatting
iPlease do not turn off the camera or insert/remove the card while the card
is being formatted.
Reformatting erases the data
iWhen the card or internal memory is initialized, all the recorded data is
erased. Protected data is also erased, so before reformatting a card, any
data you want to keep should be copied to your personal computer’s hard
disk or other storage medium.
Caution regarding disposing/transferring the card (recovering data from
a reformatted card)
iIf a card is reformatted or the data is erased from the card using the
camera or a computer, the card’s control data may be merely modified and
the data itself may not be completely erased from the card.
iIn some cases it may be possible to recover the data from a reformatted
card using special software for that purpose. However, if the camera is
used to execute a full format, it will be impossible to recover the data even
by the use of data recovery software.
iIf you are disposing of a card, it is recommended that you physically
destroy it. If you are transferring the card to someone else to use, it is
recommended that you use the camera’s full format function to reformat
the card, or use commercially available software for erasing card data.
Managing data is the responsibility of the user.
