Execute [Format card] in the following cases:
About Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems
slow or if you want to totally erase data in the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors in the card, the
formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [
Cancel
]. Even in this
case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the card as
usual.
Cards with 128 GB or lower capacity will be formatted in FAT format.
Cards with a capacity higher than 128 GB will be formatted in exFAT
format. If you format a card with a capacity higher than 128 GB with this
camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed
and you may not be able to use the card. Also, depending on the
computer’s OS or card reader, it may not recognize a card formatted in
exFAT format.
When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management
information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent the personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be
installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller
than the capacity indicated on the card.
This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.
