Cards That Can Record Movies

When recording movies, use a card with ample performance (fast enough writing and reading speeds) for the movie recording quality.

Test cards by recording a few movies to make sure they can record correctly at your specified size.

IMPORTANT

Before recording 8K or 4K movies, format cards by selecting [ Low level format ] in [ : Format card ].
If you use a slow-writing card when recording movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not be played back properly.
When recording movies, use high-performance cards with a writing speed sufficiently higher than the bit rate.
When movies cannot be recorded properly, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer’s website, etc.

The following files cannot be recorded to SD cards. Pressing the movie shooting button will not start recording.

REFERENCE

To obtain better performance with the card, formatting the card with the camera before recording movies is recommended.
