Formatting Memory Cards - Canon PowerShot SD 1400 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 format ing the memory card.
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents
are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
