Which card for what you shoot
- Photos: any SDHC or SDXC card works; the camera's UHS-I bus sets the top speed.
- Long bursts: a faster card empties the camera's buffer sooner, so you wait less after a burst.
- Video: Rated V30 (UHS Speed Class 3) or faster for 4K.
Format it in the camera
Format a new card in the ZV-E10 before the first shot: Menu, then the card or set-up tab, then Format. Copy anything on the card first; formatting erases it.
