Before using a new memory card or a card formatted in another device, you should format the card with this camera.
CAUTION
Formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back them up.
IMPORTANT
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file management information on the card and does not erase the data completely. Be aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, either physically destroy the card or take other measures to prevent personal data from being leaked.

Low-level formatting
- Perform low-level formatting in the following 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.
