Formatting Memory Cards

Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file

management information on the card and does not ensure its contents

are completely erased. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a

memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such

as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.

The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the formatting screen

may be less than indicated on the memory card.

appears on the face of the main subject,

while gray frames appear on other

detected faces.

Even if the detected faces move, the

camera will follow the faces within a

certain range.

Compose the shot.

30 cm (12 in.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto.
