    Thank you, sir! I had a problem with a mini SD. An error message popped up on my car dash cam saying that the memory was full. This was a surprise because the dash cam erases the old data for the new. When I checked the SD on my laptop, I noticed that the name of the card changed to weird symbols, and I couldn't access the recorded videos on it. Eventually, the simplest formatting helped! Interesting fact: the system wouldn't let me format it because of the strange symbols, so I changed the name of the card to something simple.

    If you have a non compatible SD-card due to its size, as I had, there are ways to downsize the SD card through your computer. There are vids on youtube to help you with this. This worked for me, bought a 128gb SD card for my old camera, which apparently just could have a 32gb size. Now works fine as a 32gb card, but atleast i don't have to buy a new 32gb card

    • @photographersfreedom

    I bought a new 256GB for my brand new Sony RX10. I fitted the card and then attempted to format it . After a couple of minutes a message came up
    "Image datatbase file not ready" . I tried this several times but the camera wouldn't operate. Could it be this card is not compatible, I tried it in a fujiHS20 and images wouldnt store. Could it be that as both cameras were made at least 6 years ago that this card can only be used on recent cameras. Card sandisk 256GB SDXC UHS-1 95MB/s. Or is this new card faulty. ps Both cameras work with an old 16GB card. Thanks

    • @photographersfreedom
      @photographersfreedom  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I think you have answered your own question. If the 16GB card works in both cameras, then obviously, the other card is not compatible.
      A quick Google search for "Sony RX10 compatible SD cards" is all you need to be sure.

    I get the camera ZV-1F as a gift i christmas and tested a memory card that I already had at home, the 128gb class 10 mini memory card from San Disk with an adapter and it went into the camera and was recognized, but only for taking photos. When I press to record videos it says to change the memory card for a memory card class 10 (which is what I used) or UH 1 or UH 2, and the digital touch button to record video appears as unavailable.
    What could I do? Can you or someone help me please?

    CARD SPEED SLOW
    this is a new camera I have been using successfully using sandisk sd cards of 64G
    my camera is supposed to be able to use a 128G SD card.
    I have removed and replaced the fully charged battery several times, I tried reformatting the card in the camera several times, removing the SD card and re-installing it several times. i’ve tried other cards and they work..
    this is a brand of card I never tried before, KRECOO
    I don’t have another camera capable of using a card of 128G to test the card elsewhere
    what does that message
    card to slow mean.???

    • @photographersfreedom
      @photographersfreedom  Před 12 dny

      You need to check the speed class of your SD card. There will be a number inside of a C printed on the front of the card. If this is not a 10, then the card is likely too slow to record video with, especially if you're shooting 4K. There are other numbers on the front of the card that matter also.

      I would not recommend that. I have emailed SD card manufacturers during my research for this video, and they warmed me against using any type of cleaning spray or lubricant. The card may work now, but it probably won't stay functional for long.

    • @Jodyrides
      @Jodyrides Před 13 dny

      I do not believe that you sprayed your SD card with that solvent, WD-40.
      WD stands for water dispersal
      40 is the number of formulas they tried until they got the right one that would work for each designed purpose
      it should actually be called WD 41, because several years ago, they reformulated it, so that it would not be flammable. You know what children all these companies think we are, and that we can’t be trusted. I have a manual for a motorcycle from the factory that says “do not drink gasoline. “
      many people think that WD-40 is a lubricant. It is not a lubricant. It is a solvent, a solvent will rinse off any lubricant residue you may have on some thing that you think you are lubricating such as a door hinge
      I simply don’t believe you spread that with WD-40, I think this was an attempt at humor
