HDR-AS100V POV Action Cam - card information needed

[John McCully]

Good point Ron. Certainly in my case with the Kingston I just popped it in and away we went (after I turned it around the right way).

Yes, I formatted in camera before and after formatting to exFAT on the computer. Formatting in camera didn't change the card format to exFAT so that's why I did it on a computer (OSX if you're wondering). According to B&H XAVC-S recording requires SDXC cards, so that's what I'll try next.

Do you have a link to the card that worked for you?

Better than that: here's a photocopy of the container the card came in.

The GoPro formats it's own little modified exFat version to the card, that's why a computer exFat format will not work correctly and why you should not then cross use it in other devices.

Yes I know, that is why I wondered if the Sony needed to format in camera when set to XAVC-S too. It is always good to let the cameras format as they often place directories during the format for data base recovery etc.
