Perform low-level formatting in these cases: [Memory card error] is displayed,
the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing is slower,
continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly stops. Low-level
formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low-level formatting,
copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take other steps to back
them up.
Perform low-level formatting.

the formatting process.
Your shots are automatically numbered in sequential order (0001 – 9999) and
saved in folders that store up to 2,000 images each. You can change how the
camera assigns file numbers.
z Choose [File Numbering], and then choose
an option.
Low-Level Formatting
• Low-level formatting takes longer than “Formatting Memory Cards” (p. 161),
because data is erased from all storage regions of the memory card.
• You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by touching [Stop]. In this case,
all data will be erased, but the memory card can be used normally.
File Numbering
Continuous
Images are numbered
consecutively (until the 9999th shot
is taken/saved) even if you switch
memory cards.
Auto Reset
Image numbering is reset to 0001 if
you switch memory cards, or when
a new folder is created.
