"The card is not formatted. Format the card."

As a result of the above error message, your previously saved photos become inaccessible.

The error is a possible outcome of interrupted read/write process. The process could have got interrupted in the following scenarios:

• If the camera batteries conk out while the camera is writing a photo on to the memory card.
• If you remove the memory card from the camera while it is still on.

In both the scenarios, the memory card could become corrupt.

Resolution:

Formatting the card in the camera is an effective method to deal the problem. The process installs a new file system into the card and deletes all the previous entries, making it reusable. However, in order to restore the lost photos, you would be required to perform immediate photo recovery.
