Low Level Memory Card Formatting - Canon Powershot SD1300 IS User Manual

Low Level Memory Card Formatting

Perform low level formatting when you think that the recording/reading
speed of a memory card has dropped. Performing a low-level format on a
memory card erases all data on the memory card. As you cannot retrieve the
erased data, exercise adequate caution before performing a low-level
format.
