Low Level Memory Card Formatting - Canon PowerShot SX150 IS Getting Started

Low Level Memory Card Formatting

Perform low level formatting when [Memory card error] appears, the camera
does not operate properly, you think that the recording/reading speed of a
memory card has dropped, the continuous shooting speed slows down, or
recording suddenly stops while shooting a movie. As you cannot retrieve the
erased data, exercise adequate caution before formatting the memory card.
• Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting (p. 21),
since all recorded data is erased.
• You can stop a low level format of a memory card by choosing [Stop].
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the
memory card can be used without problem.
