•	Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
management information on the card and does not erase the data 
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take 
steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically 
destroying cards.
•	 The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less t\
han 
the advertised capacity.
Low-Level FormattingPerform 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. 
Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-level \
formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other 
steps to back them up.
zzOn the screen in step 2 of “Formatting 
Memory Cards” (=  76), press the 
 buttons to choose [Low Level 
Format], and then press the  
buttons to select this option. A [
] icon is 
displayed.
zzFollow steps 2 – 3 in “Formatting Memory 
Cards” (=  76) to continue with the 
formatting process.
•	 Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (\
 =  76), 
because data is erased from all storage regions of the memory card.
•	 You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing [Stop]. In th\
is 
case, all data will be erased, but the memory card can be used normally.
File Numbering
Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 999\
9) 
and saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change 
how the camera assigns file numbers.
zzChoose [File Numbering], and then 
choose an option.
Continuous Images are numbered consecutively (until the 9999th shot is taken/
saved) even if you switch memory cards.
Auto Reset Image numbering is reset to 0001 if you switch memory cards, or 
when a new folder is created.
•	 Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be numbered\
 
consecutively after the last number of existing images on newly inserted\
 
memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, use an empty (or formatted 
(=
  76)) memory card.
•	 Refer to “Software Instruction Manual” ( =  86) for information on the card 
folder structure and image formats.
