CONNECTING AND FORMATTING MEDIA
Identify a REDMAG 1.8” 64GB, 128GB or 256GB SSD that has not previously been recorded to, or is not
a camera master and may therefore be erased and re-used. Aligned the RED logo of the SSD to the
outside, and then push the SSD firmly, but without excessive force, into the slot in the Side SSD Module.
NOTE: When fully inserted, the SSD media protrudes slightly from the SSD slot as indicated above.
The Media Menu is used to format and number attached media and to Eject (unmount) the media prior to
removal from the camera. Menu options include Select Media, Format Media and Eject Media.
When FORMAT is selected, a SLATE dialog box will appear allowing you to add Camera Identity and 3D
Position properties when formatting.
