NOTE

About Low-level Formatting

• Do low-level formatting if the card's recording or reading speed seems slow.
• Since low-level formatting will erase all recordable sectors in the card, the formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
• You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this case, normal formatting will have been completed and you can use the card as usual.

IMPORTANT

• Cards with 128 GB or lower capacity will be formatted in FAT format. Cards with a capacity higher than 128 GB will be formatted in exFAT format. If you format a card with a capacity higher than 128 GB with this camera and then insert it into another camera, an error may be displayed and you may not be able to use the card. Also, depending on the computers OS or card reader, it may not recognize a card formatted in exFAT format.
• When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to prevent the personal data from being leaked.
• Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.

REFERENCE

• The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller than the capacity indicated on the card.
• This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.
