■
Memory cards
[Memory Card Error] [Format this card?]
• Save needed data on a computer or other device, and then use [Format] on the camera. (→26)
• Try with a different card.
[Read Error] / [Write Error] [Please check the card]
• Check whether card has been inserted correctly (→24).
• Turn off the camera and remove the card. Reinsert the card and turn the camera on again.
• Try with a different card.
[Motion recording was cancelled due to the limitation of the writing speed of the card]
• The speed class of a required card varies depending on [Rec Format] and [Rec Quality] of a motion
picture. 4K photo recording requires a card that meets a particular speed class rating. Use a card
that meets the rating. Be sure to use a card of the recommended speed class. For details, refer to
“About motion picture/4K photo recording and speed class ratings” (→25).
• If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→25), the data writing
speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and
formatting it (→26). Depending on the type of the card, recording may stop in the middle.
[Memory Card Error] [This memory card cannot be used]
• Use a compatible card. (→25)
