Formatting Memory Cards

• Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file

management information on the card and does not erase the data

completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, take

steps to protect personal information if necessary, as by physically

destroying cards.

• The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be less than the

advertised capacity.
