hi, I need to know the correct way to format a new Memory Stick Pro Duo card for a Sony Cyber-Shot camera. I called Sandisk they say to always format it in the computer.
I called Sony they said format in the camera only.
And lastly I called the manufacturer of the card Lexar and they said to format in the computer first then format in the camera second so that the devices are paired.
So which is the correct way?
I don't want to ruin a brand new card.
Also I read online when formatting a brand new card that i should do a full format and not a quick format.
Is that true?
