Using the two button format is probably less risky than the menu.

Your conclusion is correct - there is no preference for where/what is being overwritten.

First, thank you to everyone for your responses. The question was, "CONCLUSION AND QUESTION – WHEN NEW IMAGES\FILES ARE WRITTEN TO A FORMATTED DISK, THERE IS NO PREFERENCE IN TIME TO PRIOR-FORMATTED OFF IMAGES\FILES (correct)?" SMF85, the winner, special thank you, I needed that confirmation.

Why less risky?
I use the menu and select which card to format. Even doing two cards only takes a few seconds.

I’m not saying it’s likely, but possible. If you bump the menu button it’ll open to Format where you left it. Maybe you’re trying to make adjustments and don’t see it’s on Format. You could accidentally format your card. Like I said, not likely. Although more likely than accidentally doing that double button press twice in succession.

With my Nikons you could accidently chose format. If you accidently hit it again you would get to choose slot a or b. Then, if you accidently selected a slot, you would have to accidently choose "YES" (it defaults to No) before anything happens.
Anyone who is that accident prone ... needs serious help.
Other cameras may function differently.
