10.1 Formatting the USB Flash Drive

It is recommended to format your USB thumb drive (not included) before using it with the

CAUTION

1. From the Live View display, right-click to open the Quick Menu, then click Main Menu.

2. Click BACKUP.

3. Click Format next to the Device Name.

4. Select a format mode:

• FAT32: Recommended — offers the greatest compatibility with other devices.

file sizes will be larger than 4GB.

5. Click OK.

10.2 Backing Up Video

You can save video recordings from your system to a USB flash drive. Ensure you format new

drives before backing up video (see 10.1 Formatting the USB Flash Drive, page 25 for details).
