Preparing Recording Media

In VIDEO mode, the camera records clips, photos and other files on CFexpress cards/SD cards*. "Primary clips"
(generally speaking, deliverable files) are recorded on a CFexpress card. "Proxy clips" (smaller files, mainly
intended for offline editing) are recorded on the SD card.
Initialize cards (A 35) when you use them with this camera for the first time.
* The SD card is used also to save/read other files such as custom picture files. Additionally, recording is only possible when the bit
rate is 650 Mbps or lower (A 59).

IMPORTANT
• CFexpress cards can become hot due to the high operating temperature inside the camera. Removing a
CFexpress card immediately after using it for recording may cause burns or cause you to drop the card,
resulting in damage to the card.
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the memory is fragmented), you may notice slower
writing speeds to the card and recording may even stop. In such case, save your recordings and initialize the
card with the camera. Be sure to initialize cards especially before shooting important scenes.
