Memory card for the Fujifilm X-T5
The X-T5 has two UHS-II slots, and its 4K video wants a card rated V30 or faster. What to buy, and what changes it.
SD card, UHS-II · V30 for 4K
- Slots
- 2 × SD, UHS-II
- Bus
- UHS-II: a UHS-II card writes long bursts faster; a UHS-I card still works, at UHS-I speed
- For video
- Rated V30 (UHS Speed Class 3) or faster for 4K
- Two slots
- The camera can write every photo to both cards, so one card is a backup of the other

Which card for what you shoot
- Photos: any SDHC or SDXC card works; the camera's UHS-II bus sets the top speed.
- Long bursts: a faster card empties the camera's buffer sooner, so you wait less after a burst; a UHS-II card makes the most difference here.
- Video: Rated V30 (UHS Speed Class 3) or faster for 4K.
Format it in the camera
Format a new card in the X-T5 before the first shot: Menu, then the card or set-up tab, then Format. Copy anything on the card first; formatting erases it.

Questions about the card
Which memory card does the X-T5 take?
Two card slots, SD with the UHS-II bus. Any SDXC UHS-II card works for photos; a UHS-II card clears long bursts faster, and a UHS-I card still works at UHS-I speed. For 4K video, use a card rated V30 or faster.
Does the X-T5 take UHS-II cards?
Yes. Its SD slots have the UHS-II bus, so a UHS-II card runs at full speed; a UHS-I card works too, more slowly.
Does the X-T5 have two card slots?
Yes: 2 × SD, UHS-II.
