Preparing Recording Media Preparing Recording Media The camera records clips1 on CFast or SD cards2 and photos on SD cards. The camera features two SD card slots. When you insert two SD cards in the camera, the camera can record 4K clips simultaneously on both cards, or it can switch automatically to recording on the other SD card when an SD card becomes full. 47 Initialize recording media (A 50) when you use them with this camera for the first time. 1 Clips that are, in general, intended to be a deliverable are referred to as "primary clips" while clips that are intended to be edited offline are referred to as "proxy clips". Primary clips are recorded to the CFast card (for RAW clips) or SD card (for MP4 or XF-AVC clips); proxy clips can be in MP4 or XF-AVC format and are recorded only to the SD card. 2 The SD card is used also to save custom picture files and menu settings files.

IMPORTANT • CFast cards can become hot due to the high operating temperature inside the camera. Removing a CFast card immediately after using it for recording may cause burns or cause you to drop the CFast card, resulting in damage to the card. • About CFast and SDXC cards: You can use CFast and SDXC cards with this camera but these types of cards are initialized by the camera using the exFAT file system. - When using exFAT-formatted cards with other devices (digital recorders, card readers, etc.), make sure that the external device is compatible with exFAT. For more information on compatibility, contact the computer, operating system or memory card manufacturer. - If you use exFAT-formatted cards with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be prompted to format the card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss. • After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the memory is fragmented), you may notice slower writing speeds to the recording media and recording may even stop. In such case, save your recordings and initialize the recording media with the camera. Be sure to initialize recording media especially before shooting important scenes. NOTES • Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all recording media.
