3 Formatting the Card
The card is new.
The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.
The card is full of images or data.
A card-related error is displayed (p.427).
Card’s file formats
SD/SDHC cards will be formatted in FAT32. SDXC cards will be
formatted in exFAT.
When shooting a movie with a card formatted in exFAT, the movie
will be recorded in a single file (instead of being split into multiple
files) even if it exceeds 4 GB. (The movie file will exceed 4 GB.)
Perform [Format card] in the following cases:
Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s writing or reading speed seems
slow or if you want to totally erase the 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 already be complete and you can use the card
as usual.
If you format an SDXC card with this camera and then insert it into
another camera, an error may be displayed and the card may become
unusable. Certain computer operating systems or card readers may not
recognize a card formatted in exFAT.
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, perform low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent 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.
