Cautions for Formatting the Card
When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be

nothing you need to keep. If necessary, transfer the images and data to 
a computer, etc., before formatting the card.

The card is new.
 The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
 The card is full with images or data.
 A card-related error is displayed  (p.487).
Format the card in the following cases:
Low-level FormattingPerform low-level formatting if the SD card’s reading or writing speed 
seems slow or if you want to totally erase all data on the card.
 Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors on the SD card, 
the formatting will take 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 SD card as 
usual.
 When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management 
information is changed. The actual dat a 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 (p.451), the software on the card must 
be installed on 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.
