Precautions for Handling Storage Devices

Careful handling of storage devices can reduce the possibility of card errors and other problems.
*Note: These precautions do not completely prevent problems.

  • We recommend using a dedicated storage device for each camera.
    Issues may arise if the storage device contains both PC files and files recorded on other cameras.
  • Ensure that you format the storage device using the camera before its use.
    This is particularly important when recording high bit rate videos or during high-speed burst shooting as formatting the device in advance provides stable recording.
  • If you experience slow write speeds, consider performing a physical format.
