Formatting Memory Cards - Canon PowerShot A3300 IS User Manual

Formatting Memory Cards

Before you use a new memory card or one that has been formatted in other
devices, you should format the card with this camera.
Formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data on the memory card.
As you cannot retrieve the erased data, exercise adequate caution before
formatting the memory card.
