Question :
What is the difference between Format and All Erase, and how do I perform each operation?

Answer:
The following explains the difference between All Erase and Format (formatting the card), and how to perform each operation.

The difference between All Erase and Format

  • All Erase :
    All images stored on the SD card will be deleted.
    However, images that have been protected using the camera’s protect function will not be deleted.
  • Format (formatting the card) :
    All data stored on the SD card, including images, will be deleted.
    This process fully erases and reformats the card, rewriting its management information.
    Protected image files will also be deleted.
    Regularly reformatting the SD card helps to maintain stable performance.
Note:
  • SD cards that are newly purchased, used in other cameras, or used for other purposes on a computer must be formatted in the camera before use.
  • Formatting the SD card in the camera optimizes it for use with that camera. Therefore, do not format it on a computer.

How to All Erase/Format

The following steps explain how to perform All Erase or Format.

Caution:
Be sure to check that there is no important data remaining on the SD card before proceeding with All Erase or Format.
  1. Press the [MENU] button. In(Setup Menu), select Card Setup, then press the [OK] button.

  2. Use the up/down buttons to select All Erase or Format, then press the [OK] button.
    * Format is selected in this procedure, but the following steps are the same for All Erase.

  3. The confirmation screen for All Erase / Format appears.
    To proceed, use the up button to select Yes, then press the [OK] button to start the process.

  4. The screen will display 'Busy' during processing. When the process is complete, it will return to the shooting screen.
