I have an M50 which shows an error "Format was failed". Whether some had such a problem and the solution obtained?

It's probably a problem with your memory disk. The manual says:

Error in formatting medium
Meaning: An error occurred while performing a physical format (full format) or high-level format (quick format) of the media. To solve this problem:
•Use other media.

Error in writing to medium
Meaning: A verification error occurred while writing data to a medium. To solve this problem:
•It is possible that the media has been physically damaged. Try another media. Avoid using the media that produced the error.

Is maybe a stupid question, but have you checked your SD card's write lock switch ?
