Product Information

Full details

The Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress A 512GB is designed for professional Sony Alpha and FX camera users who require consistent, high-speed data transfer for demanding video and still image capture, particularly 8K RAW. Its key benefit is sustained 800 MB/s write performance and robust durability, ensuring no frame drops even during extended bursts. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with CFexpress Type A slots, limiting its use in older or different camera systems.

FAQs

What cameras are compatible with the Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress A 512GB?

This card is compatible with Sony Alpha and FX series cameras that feature a CFexpress Type A card slot, including models like the Sony α1, α7 IV, α7S III, FX3, and FX30.

What is VPG 400 certification?

VPG 400 (Video Performance Guarantee 400) ensures a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s. The AV PRO CFexpress A exceeds this with a sustained write speed of 800 MB/s, providing a significant performance margin for professional video.

How does Stable Stream technology work?

Stable Stream technology ensures consistent, uninterrupted read and write performance throughout the card's capacity, preventing performance drops that can occur as a card fills up. This is vital for smooth, high-bitrate recording.

Can I use this card in a CFexpress Type B slot?

No, this is a CFexpress Type A card and will not fit or work in a CFexpress Type B slot. You need a camera or reader specifically designed for CFexpress Type A media.

What happens if my camera loses power unexpectedly?

The card features Host Power Loss Protection. This feature attempts to save any data currently in the buffer and safely shuts down the card to prevent corruption or loss of the last recorded segment.

Does the card require any special software for firmware updates?

Firmware updates are installed directly onto the card using Angelbird's specific CFexpress Type A card reader. You will need to download the firmware from the Angelbird website.

What is the warranty period for this card?

Angelbird offers a 3-Year Limited Warranty on this product.

Does Angelbird offer data recovery services?

Yes, Angelbird provides a free in-house data recovery service on both hardware and software levels for their memory cards.

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by camera

Ensure the card is a CFexpress Type A and compatible with your camera model. Try formatting the card within the camera (this will erase all data). Check for any firmware updates for your camera or the card itself.

Recording stops unexpectedly

Verify that the camera's recording mode and settings do not exceed the card's sustained write speed of 800 MB/s. Ensure the card is not overheating and that Host Power Loss Protection has not been triggered due to low power.

Slow data transfer speeds

Use a high-quality CFexpress Type A card reader designed for these speeds. Ensure your computer's USB port or interface is also capable of high transfer rates. Check for card firmware updates.

Card shows errors or data corruption

Format the card in the camera. If issues persist, attempt data recovery using Angelbird's service if data loss has occurred. Consider replacing the card if problems recur after formatting.

Care:

Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-12°C to 72°C).

Always use the 'safe removal' option if transferring data via a computer to prevent data corruption.
