EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA (UNMOUNT)
IMPORTANT:
To ensure data integrity, 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.
While removing an SSD without unmounting first does not damage the media, it does increase the risk of file
corruption. It is good practice to unmount the media if possible before removing or disconnecting. Unmounting
the digital media provides the following benefits:
Protects the integrity of your recorded data
Mounts clips instantly to your workstation in post production
NOTE
: If you remove media without unmounting first, you receive a warning notification: “Media removed without
first ejecting. Data integrity risk”. Always unmount media before physically removing the disk to protect your
media and footage.
