setting.

3 Touch Control Settings
Cautions for Touch Control Operations Since the LCD monitor is not pressure  sensitive, do not use any sharp 
objects, such as your fingernail or a ballpoint pen, for touch operations.
  Do not use wet fingers for touch operations.
  If the LCD monitor has any moisture or  if your fingers are wet, the touch 
screen may not respond or malfunction  may occur. In such a case, turn 
off the power and wipe off the moisture with a cloth.
  Attaching any commercially-available pr otective sheet or sticker on the 
LCD monitor may degrade the touch operation response.
  If you quickly perform touch operation when [ Sensitive] is set, the touch 
operation response may be slower.

Before You Start
3  Formatting the Card
When the card is formatted, all images and data on the card will be 
erased. Even protected images will be erased, so make sure there is 
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 of images or data.
  A card-related error is displayed  (p.573).
 Card’s file formats
CF cards up to 128 GB in capacity and SD/SDHC cards will be 
formatted in FAT32. CF cards exceeding 128 GB and SDXC cards 
will be formatted in exFAT.When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie 
will be recorded in a single file (i nstead of being split into multiple 
files) even if it exceeds 4 GB.  (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
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 the 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. 
						

							
75
Before You Start
 If you format a CF card exceeding 128 GB or SDXC card with this 
camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed 
and the card may become unusable. Certain computer operating 
systems or card readers may not reco gnize a card formatted in exFAT.
  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, perform low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to 
prevent personal data from being leaked.
  The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller 
than the capacity indicated on the card.
  This device incorporates exFAT te chnology licensed from Microsoft.
