5. When formatting completes, the pop-up disappears and the
Home Screen opens.
NOTE
The writing speeds to SD cards and other storage media that
use flash memory tend to decrease after writing occurs re-
peatedly.
If the writing speed decreases, this could have a negative im-
pact on recording.
Using the ERASE FORMAT function of this unit should restore
the writing speed of an SD card.*
For this reason, we recommend using the ERASE FORMAT func-
tion at the following times.
o Whenever the card has been written to until it became
completely full
o On a regular schedule (about once per month)
o Before starting important recordings
* Writing speed might not be restored depending on the SD
card condition (including malfunction and age).
