Test failed:  USB Flash drive too slow 

If the Flash drive’s performance is too slow for Direct-to-
USB recording you are given the option to format the 
drive. This can in some cases improve the device’s 
performance (e.g. if the memory is too fragmented or the 
existing format uses the wrong cluster size).  

Please see ‘Format USB device’

Test failed: wrong file system 

The inserted flash drive needs to be formatted FAT32 in 
order to be suitable for Direct-to-USB recording. If this is 
not the case you are given the option to format the drive. 

Please see ‘Format USB device’
