Memory Card Scan & Repair
Most digital camera memory cards use NAND flash memory. As the NAND flash has a
usage lifespan of 20,000 times rewritable, some memory card sectors may become
unusable over time. A digital camera will not operate properly with a defective memory
card. COLORSPACE O is the only portable memory card backup device in the world with
the ability to scan memory cards for errors and repair them if necessary.
Scan Settings:
Before scanning the memory card, you can adjust scan settings to determine if you wish
to automatically repair any bad memory card sectors that are found. From the main
menu, select More>Tools>Card Tools>Scan/Repair>Scan Setup

Scan/Repair:
COLORSPACE O will first delete all the data on the memory card before scanning. It will
then record the defective sectors detected to the memory card file system so that they
will be remapped and not be used in the future. This feature only works with FAT16 or
FAT32 formatted memory cards. It will not work with unformatted or FAT12 formatted
memory cards.
Scan Only:
COLORSPACE O will scan the memory card and report the scan results. This feature
works with all memory cards including those that are unformatted or FAT12 formatted
memory cards.
Before you scan the memory card, make sure that you have
backed up all the data on the memory card, as the Scan/Repair
process will delete all the data on the memory card.
