You should always format a new memory card or one from which you 
wish to erase all images and other data.

Formatting Memory Cards

Please note that formatting (initializing) a memory card erases 
all data, including protected images and other file types.

Make settings.

• To perform a low level format, use the 

 button to select [Low Level 

Format] and the 

 or 

 button to 

add a check mark.

• You can stop formatting a card when 

[Low Level Format] is selected by 
pressing the FUNC./SET button. You can still use a card without 
problem when formatting is halted, but its data will be erased.

Low Level Format
We recommend you select [Low Level Format] when you think 
that the recording/reading speed of a memory card has 
dropped. A low level format may require 2 to 3 minutes with 
some memory cards.

Displays when sound data 
recorded with the sound 
recorder is present, exercise 
caution before formatting 
memory card. (p. 190).
