 The card is new.
  The card was formatted by a diff erent camera or a computer.
  The card is full with images or data.
  A card-related error is displayed  (p.287).
Execute [Format] in the following cases:
About Low-level Formatting Do low-level formatting if  the card’s recording or reading speed seems slow 
or if you want to totally er ase all data in the card.
  Since low-level formatting  will erase 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 have been completed and you can use the 
card as usual.
  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 disc arding the card. When discarding the 
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to 
prevent the data from being leaked.
  Before using a ne w Eye-Fi card, the software  in the card must be 
installed in your comput er.  Then format the card with the camera.
 The card capacity displa yed on the card format sc reen might be smaller 
than the capacity in dicated on the card.
