z You are recommended to use memory cards that have been
formatted in your camera.
• The memory card supplied with the camera may be used without
further formatting.
• When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might
be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.
• When a non-Canon brand memory card is malfunctioning,
reformatting it may solve the problem.
• Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral
devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that
happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.
z If formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the
camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the
camera back on and format again.
z Be careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card.
Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely
changes the file management information on the memory card
and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted.
When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as
physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal
information leaks.
