Panasonic Formatter can use in every MicroSD card?

 

[Nollog]

Yes. Do a full format too, not a quick format.

use hp format tool always work

Full,Erase ON or OFF?
And what difference between ON and OFF ?

 

[Nollog]

ON, if your card doesn't support it, it will say so either at the start, or during.
It just makes sure the filesystem is clean.

If my card doesn't support ON,use OFF right?

the panasonic formatter is not good for all sd cards. for instance, my official kingston micro SD fails to work in my Dingoo or DS if i use the panasonic formatter, whereas the windows formatter works just fine.

What the advantage of panasonic formatter?

 

[Nollog]

Lower level formatting is the advantage.

Yeah, after reformatting several times using the windows formatter you get massive slowdown. I once had a card (that had been formatted by windows a few times) triple in write-speed after a panasonic reformat.
