For more information on compatibility, contact the computer, operating system or 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. NOTES • Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all SD cards.
