\"sd_card_bad\"<\/a>With today’s recordings\u00a0being written to SD, CF, SxS and SSD’s you have to\u00a0know one important maintenance trick. Just formatting is not enough because it only wipes the directory, not the entire card!
\nFlash media can re-assign bad blocks (just like a regular hard drive), but only after you\u2019ve tried to write to them.
\nErrors in movie files or pictures happen when the camera is writing to media with bad blocks but it hasn’t written there before.
\n-Always write zero’s (using Disk Utility) to new\u00a0SD cards immediately after buying it, to re-assign bad blocks.
\n-Repeat writing zero’s\u00a0every 6 months or before critical recordings.
\nWriting zeroes\u00a0takes about 45\u00a0min for a 128GB (Class 10 60MB\/s) card with internal Apple\u00a0reader.
\nALWAYS:<\/strong>
\nSHOOT>OFFLOAD>RE-FORMAT<\/strong>
\nReformat with the camera or recorder that will be used with the card.
\nIf something goes wrong: turn off the camera immediately, remove the SD card, and \u201clock\u201d the card (making it read-only) using the physical switch on the SD card.
\nImmediately copy the card out.<\/p>\n

\"SD-card_storage\"When\u00a0corruption\u00a0sneaks in:
\n1. is it the card? >are card or contacts dirty?
\n2. is it the reader? >swap it out.
\n3. is it the destination drive’s file system?
\nRun a disk utility on the destination drive and fix errors.
\n4. is it the software or operating system?
\nTry something else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"SD_CARD_cut\"Keep track of SD-cards, their age, brand and when they where zeroed last.
\nIf zero-ing the card yields errors, it certainly is corrupt. Throw it out! Or try warranty:
