What Format to Use for Your Canon Camera
The answer to this question depends on what type of camera you have and what type of SD card you are using. For example, if you have a digital camera that uses a SD card, you need to use a SD card with the correct format.
The most common types of SD cards are SDHC and SDXC. SDHC cards are usually used in digital cameras that have a capacity of up to 32GB. SDXC cards are used in digital cameras that have a capacity of up to 128GB.
If your camera doesn’t use a SD card, you need to purchase one. Digital cameras that use removable media (like the Kodak EasyShare CX7300) come with a small SD card that you can use with the camera.
SD cards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The most common size is the size that is used in digital cameras. There are also special sizes that are used in other applications, like smartphones.
To format a SD card, open the menu that is specific to your camera and select Format. You will need to provide the correct type of SD card and choose a format that is compatible with your camera.
If you are using a SDHC card, choose FAT32. If you are using a SDXC card, choose exFAT.
