FAT is an acronym for File Allocation Table. It's a type of format for drives (hard disk, floppies, or memory cards like SD cards or flash drives) used for DOS and earlier versions of Windows; modern versions of Windows can also read it, but it has limitations on file and disk size that are significantly lower than the more modern NTFS format.

Some SD cards are pre-formatted by the manufacturer, and I've found that if I format this one particular brand, I get a lesser number of shots!
