FORMATTING MEMORY CARDS

MAIN MENU > GENERAL SETTINGS > STORAGE
A
The camera is only able to read and write to storage media
that have been formatted correctly. New cards sometimes
have no formatting, or you might want to convert a card that
is currently using a format that the camera cannot read. In
either case, you must reformat both CFast cards and SD cards
in the sensor unit for H6D use.
There are two ways to format cards. The quickest way is to
use the Format card button on the grip but if you prefer, you
can also use the menu on the sensor unit.

FORMAT BUTTON

Press the Format button (A) on the camera grip. It is purposely
recessed to avoid unintentional use, so use a ballpoint pen
or similar. It is also possible to click the button with a hard
press with the tip of your thumb. A prompt is displayed on the
sensor unit for confirmation.
