Power interruption during the format operation can result in improper formatting, and even damage the memory card and make it unusable.

The date and time kept by the camera's clock is used for file names, file information, and other purposes. · The time and date settings are cleared if the camera is left for about 24 hours without battery and AC power being supplied.
