Memory Card Format Function

This is another feature of most DSLR cameras that allows to format new memory cards or those that have been erased. Read your camera's manual because formatting a memory card is more absolute, as that function will erase everything, even your protected pictures. Formatting also reconstructs the file system, but with new directories and folders. If your memory cards are slow or you're shooting digital photos most of the time, then be sure to format the cards occasionally during the year.
