Note
•
It is recommended to turn OFF the recording activity before you remove an SD card from the
camera.
•
The lifespan of an SD card is limited. Regular replacement of the SD card can be necessary.
•
Camera file system takes up several megabytes of memory space. The storage space cannot be used
for recording.
•
An SD card that already contains data recorded by another device should not be used in this camera.
•
Do not modify or change the folder names in the SD card. That may result in camera malfunctions.
This section explains how to manage the local storage on the camera. Here you can view SD card status,
and implement SD card control.
SD card status
This column shows the status and reserved space of your SD card. Remember to format the SD card when
using for the first time. If the SD card status field shows “Detached,” there is no SD card.
SD card format
The SD card format FAT32 or Ext4 is applied to SD cards up to 32GB. For SD cards larger 32GB, only
the Ext4 file format is applied. If EXT4 is applied, the computers running Windows will not be able to
access the contents on the SD card unless using some 3rd-party software.
