Leica M10 Instructions Manual page 93

Notes:
• Simple formatting does not cause the data on the card to be
irretrievably lost. Only the directory is deleted, which means that
the existing files are no longer directly accessible. The data can
be accessed again using appropriate software. Only the data
that is then overwritten by saving new data is actually perma-
nently deleted. You should nevertheless get into the habit of
transferring all your pictures onto a secure bulk storage medium,
e.g. the hard drive on your computer, as soon as possible. This is
particularly important if the camera is being sent for servicing
along with the memory card.
• Depending on the memory card used, formatting can take up to
3 minutes.
