•	 The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less t\
han 
the advertised capacity.
Low-Level FormattingPerform low-level formatting in these 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 1 of “Formatting 
Memory Cards” (=  153), press the 
 buttons or turn the  dial 
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” (=  153) to continue with the 
formatting process.
•	 Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (\
 =  153), 
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	–	9999)	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 
(=
  153)) memory card.
•	 Refer to “Software Instruction Manual” ( =  173) for information on the card 
folder structure and image formats.
