NOTE

Low-level Formatting

• Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems slow or if you want to totally erase data on the card.
• Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on 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 be completed and you can use the card as usual.

IMPORTANT

• 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 on the card must be installed on your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
