Formatting Your SD Card
If you’re like most people, you probably just slap your SD card into your camera and start shooting. But if you’re like some other people, you might want to take your photography to the next level and format your card before every shoot.
Formatting your SD card is a great way to improve your photography workflow because it helps you organize your photos, keeps your photos safe, and makes your photos easier to share. In this article, I’ll show you how to format your SD card on a Canon camera.
Why You Should Format Your SD Card
The short answer is that you should format your SD card to optimize your camera’s storage and speed. The long answer is a little more nuanced, but boils down to this:
Formatting your SD card can help your camera take better photos and videos by freeing up space on the card and allowing the camera to use faster memory cards. In addition, formatting can improve your camera’s performance overall.
So why would you want to do this?
Well, let’s start with the storage thing. If your camera is using a fast memory card (like a Class 10 card), you may see slightly improved performance when shooting photos or videos. However, even a slower card can still take great pictures and videos if it’s formatted correctly.
The speed thing is a little more complicated. Basically, if your camera is using a fast memory card, the card may be able to store more photos or videos before it starts to slow down. But if the card isn’t formatted correctly, your camera may only be able to access a small portion of the card at a time. This can cause the camera to slow down when shooting photos or videos, making them look choppy or jerky.
So, in short, formatting your SD card can help your camera take better photos and videos, and can also improve your camera’s performance overall. So why not do it every time you take new photos or videos? It’s definitely worth a try!
How to Format Your SD Card on a Canon Camera

What Happens When You Format Your SD Card
When you format your SD card, the Canon EOS Rebel T6i camera deletes all of the photos, videos, and files that are currently stored on the card. This means that you will need to create a new SD card before you can continue shooting photos and videos.

How to Avoid Corrupting Your SD Card
SD cards hold pictures, videos, and other files. When you take pictures or shoot videos, the camera writes the pictures and videos to the SD card.
If you ever think your SD card might be corrupted, the best thing to do is to format it. Formatting erases all the pictures and videos on the card, leaving it ready for you to start over.
To format your SD card:
1. Open the camera’s menus and find the option to format the card.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Make sure to back up any pictures and videos you want to save before formatting the card.
Conclusion
Many people are not aware that their Canon camera can read and write to an SD card. Formatting the SD card before using it with your Canon camera will ensure that all of the data is properly saved.
