Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is VPG 400 certification?

VPG 400 (Video Performance Guarantee) certification ensures a minimum sustained write speed of 400 MB/s, critical for reliable video recording at high bitrates.

Can I use this card in a non-Sony camera?

This card is specifically engineered and optimized for Sony CFexpress Type A cameras. While it may physically fit other CFexpress slots, compatibility and performance are not guaranteed.

How does Stable Stream technology work?

Stable Stream ensures that the card consistently delivers its rated write performance throughout its capacity, preventing performance drops that can lead to recording interruptions.

What is the warranty period for this card?

Angelbird offers a 3-year limited warranty on this product.

Does the card support firmware updates?

Yes, firmware updates can be performed directly on the card via Angelbird’s dedicated Card Reader for CFexpress Type A cards, ensuring ongoing compatibility and feature support.

What is the benefit of Advanced Thermal Management?

It protects the card and your data from overheating by automatically entering a low-power safe mode when the card is idle, preventing performance degradation and potential damage.

Is the data recovery service included?

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 properly seated in the slot. Try reformatting the card in-camera (this will erase all data). Check if your camera's firmware is up-to-date. Clean the card's contacts with a dry, soft cloth.

Recording stops unexpectedly

Verify that the camera's recording settings are within the card's sustained write speed capabilities (800 MB/s). Ensure the card is not overheating; allow it to cool if necessary. Check camera settings for any power-saving features that might interrupt recording.

Slow file transfer speeds

Use a high-speed CFexpress Type A card reader connected via a fast interface (e.g., USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt). Ensure your computer's hardware and operating system are not bottlenecking the transfer. Close unnecessary applications during transfer.

Data corruption or read/write errors

Immediately back up any accessible data. Stop using the card and contact Angelbird support for their free data recovery service. Avoid further use of the card to prevent data loss.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply insert the Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress A 256GB card into the compatible CFexpress Type A card slot of your Sony camera. Ensure the camera is powered off before insertion or removal.

Compatibility: This card is engineered for Sony cameras that support the CFexpress Type A standard, including models like the Sony α1, α7 IV, α7R V, α7S III, α9 III, FX3, FX30, and FX6.

Care:

Avoid exposing the card to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-12°C to 72°C).
Keep the card clean; use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the contacts if necessary. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Handle the card with care; while durable, avoid excessive physical force or bending.
Regularly update your camera's firmware, as this can sometimes improve compatibility and performance with memory cards.
Firmware updates for the card itself can be performed via Angelbird's Card Reader for CFexpress Type A cards to maintain ongoing camera compatibility and full feature sets.
