Troubleshooting
Card not recognized by camera
Ensure the card is properly inserted. Verify your camera's firmware is up-to-date and supports CFexpress Type B cards, especially if using it in a device originally designed for XQD.
Slow transfer speeds
Use a CFexpress Type-B compatible card reader that supports the CFA specification. Ensure your computer's USB port or interface is also capable of high speeds.
Recording errors or dropped frames during video
Confirm that your camera is optimized for CFexpress cards and that the card is not being overheated. Ensure the card is formatted in-camera.
