To begin the formatting process, press the 
op buttons to choose [OK], and then press 
the 

m button.

When formatting is finished, [Memory card 
formatting complete] is displayed. Press the 
m button.

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 2 on p. 157, press the 
op buttons to choose [Low Level Format], 
and then select this option (mark with a 

) 

by pressing the 

qr buttons.

Press the 

opqr buttons to choose [OK], 

press the 

m button, and then follow step 3 

on p. 158 to format (low-level format) the 
memory card.

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
management information on the card and does not erase the data 
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take 
steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically 
destroying cards.

The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less than the 
advertised capacity.

Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (p. 157), 
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.
