Formatting SD Cards

New SD cards must be formatted with the following procedures before use.
Please note that formatting (initializing) an SD card erases all data,
including protected images and other file types.
• When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted SD card might be
the cause. Reformatting the SD card may solve the problem.
• When a non-Canon brand SD card is malfunctioning, reformatting it
may solve the problem.
• SD cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral
devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that
happens, reformat the SD card with this camera. If formatting in the
camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the
SD card. Then turn the camera back on and format again.
