For the sake of clarity:
I always format the card
"before" professional gigs and events
where I expect to shoot hundreds of images.
Just as I charge all batteries
purchase fresh batteries (for strobes, etc.)
clean lenses and sensors
make sure I have two of all cords
etc.

Day to day I don't do all that.
So far I've not had a problem
with the Canons, DMR or M8 card reading
by following the procedure.
However, I'm listening
not recommending
simply reporting.

I may very well begin to reformat more often.
;~)

George Lottermoser
