Formatting Drives - Toshiba Gigashot GSC-R60 Owner's Manual

Formatting Drives

Formatting initializes the hard disk drive or an SD card. Formatting (see "Glossary"
p.197) completely erases all the images and albums created on the hard disk drive or SD
card.
ATTENTION
• You should connect the AC adapter when formatting the hard disk drive or an SD
card.
• Formatting also erases protected images. It also erases all other data on the
media. Always check carefully before formatting the hard disk drive or an SD card.
See "Protecting Images"
• A faulty SD card or hard disk drive cannot be formatted correctly.
• Always format an SD card on the camera before using it for the first time. You
should also format SD cards periodically to remove any fragmented files and
maximize the available storage capacity.
