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 erased. 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 formatting screen 
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
Perform a low-level format (p. 177) of the memory card when the camera 
does not operate properly, the recording/reading speed of a memory card 
has dropped, when continuous shooting speed slows down, or when 
movie recording stops suddenly.
Pressing the Shutter Button
Does the length of the shutter sound change?
Since the time required to shoot differs depending on the scene you want to 
take, the length of the shutter sound may change.
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded 
image may be blurry.
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not 
be in focus.
