To format the SD card for the Tactacam REVEAL X, follow these steps:
1. Insert the SD card into the camera. 2. If prompted, confirm that the camera recognizes the SD card. 3. If no prompt appears, turn off the camera, reinsert the SD card, and turn it back on. 4. Navigate to the camera's menu (press the menu button, often marked with three lines or a gear icon). 5. Look for an option like "Format SD Card," "Delete All," or "Clear Memory" (wording may vary). 6. Select this option and confirm when prompted (e.g., select "Yes"). 7. The camera will erase all data on the SD card, so ensure you have backed up important files. 8. Once formatting is complete, check the available space to confirm the SD card is clear.
Alternatively, you can format the SD card using a computer.
