You should always format a new memory card or one from which
you wish to erase all images and other data.
Low Level Format
We recommend you select [Low Level Format] when you think
that the recording/reading speed of a memory card has

some memory cards.
Formatting Memory Cards
Please note that formatting (initializing) a memory card
erases all data, including protected images and other file
types.
