NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE

To automatically format an SD card to ext4 file system, select Autoformat to option. The Axis product will check the inserted SD card
to verify if its file system is ext4, if not the product will automatically format the SD card into ext4 file system.
It is recommended that, Autoformat be enabled to ext4 in order for the new or inserted SD card to automatically be formatted to ext4
as it is a more reliable file system.
