What is low-level formatting?
Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems slow or if you want to totally erase all data in the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors in the card, the formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.
You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the card as usual.
