Formatting The Memory Card - Leica X-U 113 Instructions Manual

FORMATTING THE MEMORY CARD

It is not normally necessary to format memory cards that have
already been used. However, if a card that has yet to be formatted is
inserted for the first time, it must be formatted. The
sub-menu appears automatically.
We recommend formatting the memory card from time to time, as a
certain amount of residual data (information accompanying pictures)
can take up memory capacity.
Select in the menu and then the required setting in the
Format
sub-menu
Notes:
• Formatting will cause all data on the card to be irretrievably lost.
• We therefore recommend that you make a habit of transferring all
your pictures to a secure mass storage medium, e.g. the hard drive
on your computer, as soon as possible.
• Do not turn the camera off while the memory card is being
formatted.
• If the memory card has been formatted in another device, such as
a computer, you should reformat it in the camera.
Format
• If the memory card cannot be formatted, you should ask your
dealer or the Leica Product Support department (address, see p.
180) for advice.
• Files on the card marked with delete protection will similarly be lost
in formating.
