Can I use this card in my existing SD card slot?

Troubleshooting

Card not recognized by camera or computer

Ensure the card is fully inserted. Check that your camera/reader firmware is up to date and supports CFexpress Type A cards. Try cleaning the card's contacts. Test the card in another compatible device.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify you are using a CFexpress Type A card reader that supports PCIe 4.0 speeds. Ensure the computer's USB port or connection also supports high speeds. Close unnecessary applications running in the background on your computer.

Recording stops unexpectedly

Confirm that your camera's settings are appropriate for the card's sustained write speed. For example, ensure you are not attempting to record at a bitrate exceeding the card's VPG-400 rating. Check if the card is overheating, which may cause the camera to pause recording.

Corrupted files or data errors

Safely eject the card from your device before removing it. Avoid removing the card during file transfers or when the device is writing data. Use the Lexar Data Recovery Tool if data has been accidentally deleted or the card appears formatted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the Lexar Professional GOLD CFexpress Type A card into the compatible slot on your camera or card reader. Ensure the device is powered off before insertion and removal.

Compatibility: This card is designed for devices that specifically support the CFexpress Type A format. Always check your camera or device manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility before purchase. It is backward compatible with CFexpress Type A slots but may not achieve its maximum speeds in older revisions or less capable devices.

Care:

Keep the card's connectors clean. Use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary. Avoid touching the gold contacts.
Store the card in a protective case when not in use, away from extreme temperatures, moisture, and magnetic fields.
While IP68 rated, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to harsh chemicals. After exposure to water or dust, ensure the card is thoroughly dried and cleaned before use.
Regularly back up your data. Although the card is durable, data loss can still occur due to various factors.
