About Formatting  
The supplied memy card has been formatted.  
When the "Memory ard error" message appears, or when the camera does not  
work correctly, formang thmemory card may solve the problem. Copy the  
images from the memorrd to a computer or other device before formatting.  
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 deleted. 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.  
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the [Format] screen  
may be less than indicated on the memory card.  
Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all  
recorded data are erased.  
You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop].  
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the  
memory card can be used without problem.
