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.  
Before formatting an Eye-Fi card (p. 155), be sure to install the software  
contained on the card to a computer.

Pressing the Shutter Button  
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.  
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen  
may be less than indicated on the memory card.

the length of the shutter sound may change.  
If the camera or subject moves while the shutter sound is playing, the recorded  
image may be blurry.  
If you shoot without pressing the shutter button halfway, the image may not  
be in focus.
