Notes
• The data in the card will not be erased completely even after formatting
the card or deleting the data. When discarding, destroy the card to
prevent leakage of personal information.

Formatting the card

Cards formatted on a computer or other camera must be formatted with the camera before
they can be used.
All data stored on the card, including protected images, is erased when the card is formatted.
When formatting a used card, confirm there are no images that you still want to keep on the card.
