# Performing operations on SD memory cards

To perform operations such as formatting an SD memory card, writing setting data to an SD memory card, or reading the written data, use [FORMAT SD CARD] and [SCENE FILE]/[USER FILE] in the main menu → [CARD FUNCTIONS].

If the SD memory card that was formatted in a standard other than the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards on a device other than the camera is inserted, [LOAD] or [SAVE] operation of the file cannot be performed. Format the SD memory card again.
