Canon EOS REBEL T6 Manual De Instrucciones página 47

Format the card in the following cases:
The card is new.

The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer.

The card is full with images or data.

A card-related error is displayed.

Low-level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting if the card's recording or reading speed seems

slow or if you want to totally erase data on the card.
Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors on 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.
When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management

information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be
aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the
card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to
prevent the personal data from being leaked.
Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software on the card must be

installed on your computer. Then format the card with the camera.
The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller

than the capacity indicated on the card.
This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft.
