Notes on Memory Cards

  • If [Media Temperature High] is displayed on the monitor, do not remove the memory card from the camera right away. Instead, wait for a while after turning off the unit, and then remove the memory card. If you touch the memory card while it is hot, you may drop it and the memory card may become damaged. Be careful when removing the memory card.
  • If you repeatedly shoot and delete images over an extended period, fragmentation of files in the memory card may occur, and video recording may be interrupted in the middle of shooting. If this happens, save your images to a computer or other storage location, then execute [TC/Media] – [Format Media] – [Full Format] or [Quick Format] in the menu on the unit.
  • Do not remove the memory card, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery pack, or turn the unit off while the access lamp is lit. This may cause the data on the memory card to become damaged.
  • Be sure to back up the data for protection.
  • Not all memory cards are guaranteed to operate correctly.
  • Images recorded on an SDXC memory card or CFexpress Type A memory card cannot be imported to or played on computers or AV devices not compatible with exFAT when connected using a USB cable. Make sure that the device is compatible with exFAT before connecting it to the unit.
    If you connect the unit to an incompatible device, you may be prompted to format the card. Never format the card in response to this prompt, as doing so will erase all data on the card.
    (exFAT is the file system used on SDXC memory cards and CFexpress Type A memory cards.)
  • Do not expose the memory card to water.
  • Do not strike, bend or drop the memory card.

  • Do not use or store the memory card under the following conditions:

    • High temperature locations, such as in a car parked under the sun
    • Locations exposed to direct sunlight
    • Humid locations or locations with corrosive substances present
  • If the memory card is used near areas with strong magnetization, or used in locations subject to static electricity or electrical noise, the data on the memory card may become damaged.
  • Do not touch the electrical contacts of the memory card with your hand or a metal object.
  • Do not leave the memory card within the reach of small children. They might accidentally swallow it.
  • Do not disassemble or modify the memory card.
  • The memory card may be hot just after it has been used for an extended period. Be careful when you handle it.
  • A memory card formatted with a computer is not guaranteed to operate with the unit. Be sure to format the memory card using the unit.
  • Data read/write speeds will vary depending on the combination of the memory card and the device used.
  • Do not press down hard when writing in the memo space on the memory card.
  • Do not attach a label on the memory card itself nor on a memory card adaptor. You may not be able to remove the memory card.
  • If the write-protection switch of an SD card is set to the LOCK position, you cannot record or delete images. In this case, set the switch to the record position.
