2. Remove media from the camera. You must format your SSD (media) before recording to it. Formatting in-
camera allows the camera to add the necessary project profile and clip log data.

Media must always be unmounted prior to removal from the camera. This ensures that power is
removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly unmount media may
result in lost data or corrupted files.
