INSERTING & REMOVING YOUR SD CARD
Open the LCD display and locate the SD card door. Open the door & insert your SD
card. Cards will push in and click into place. To remove the card - push the card in to
release and it will pop out.
CARD RECORD SETTINGS
By default, the camera will be set to relay record. On the LCD screen you
will see this icon next to the record settings. When one card gets full, the
camera will start recording on the second card - if available.
If you have two cards inserted - you can use the “Slot Select” button (located above the SD cards) to choose
which card the camera will record onto.
If you are only using one SD card you will see this icon flashing icon in the middle of your LCD screen,
alerting you that it cannot relay record because there is only one card.
FORMATTING YOUR SD CARD
If you are using a new SD card - you should always format it in the
camera before using.
If you use an SD card in a new camera (different make or model of
cameras) you should format the card to that camera so it can build the
correct file managements systems to properly save your media.
If you had any problems with the card, or have deleted files from the
card on a computer - it is smart to reformat the card before recording
new media as well.
