EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA (UNMOUNT)
IMPORTANT: Media must always be Ejected (un-mounted) prior to removal or disconnection from
the camera. This ensures power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are
closed. Failure to do so may result in lost data or corrupted files.
Removing an SSD without first un-mounting it will not physically damage the media, however it does
increase the risk of file corruption, so it’s good operational practice to un-mount the media if possible
before removing or disconnecting.
IMPORTANT: Unmounting the digital media takes a few seconds, protects the integrity of your
recorded data and helps clips mount instantly to your workstation once in postproduction, so it’s
a recommended habit to develop. If you do not un-mount the media the camera will offer a
warning – your files may not be damaged, but you will have been warned!
NOTE: The camera will respond to physical removal of the media without un-mounting and
display ”MEDIA REMOVED PRIOR TO UNMOUNT – DATA INTEGRITY RISK”.
USING REDMOTE / TOUCHSCREEN LCD

2. Select EJECT MEDIA.
3. When media is ejected, Viewfinder output(s) will display “MEDIA EJECTED SUCCESSFULLY“.
4. Media can now be removed from the camera.
USING SIDE HANDLE
