Media Management

This section explains how to use, record, format, and offload media for the camera.

WARNING: Do not attach a label to the CFexpress media card. The heat generated by the media can weaken the label's adhesive, causing the label to detach inside of the camera. Labels can also diminish heat dissipation and cause excessive wear to the internal components. Removing a label from a CFexpress media card can deform the card body.

The camera supports exFAT as the file system for the media card to accommodate larger files and data rates. exFAT is supported both on macOS and MS Windows.

Ejecting Media

IMPORTANT: To ensure data integrity, media must always be ejected prior to removal from the camera. This ensures that power is removed from the media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly eject media may result in lost data or corrupted files.

To quickly eject the media, press and hold the button under MEDIA on the bottom of the LCD Home page (refer to Home Page).

To eject media from the camera by using the LCD menu, select Menu > Media.

With Eject highlighted, press SEL to eject (unmount) the media:

The Success message displays:

The media is now ejected and all media related items are grayed out in the menu.

 

WARNING: The media can get extremely hot. Use caution when removing media.

Removing a CFexpress media card without ejecting it, increases the risk of file corruption. It is good practice to eject the media before removing or disconnecting. Ejecting the media provides the following benefits:

• Protects the integrity of your recorded data
• Mounts clips quickly to your workstation in post-production.
