Formatting Storage Media using your Video Assist

It's very easy to format your storage media using the storage settings. You can format your
card or drive using HFS+ or exFAT formats.
HFS+ is also known as Mac OS Extended. It is the recommended format as it supports
"journaling". Data on journaled media is more recoverable and less likely to be corrupted.
HFS+ is natively supported by macOS.
ExFAT is supported natively by Mac and Windows computers without needing to purchase any
additional software. However, exFAT does not support journaling which means data is less
protected against the rare event your media card is corrupted.
Your video assist can format your media in HFS+ or exFAT.
Tap on the storage media icon to access settings.
To format your storage media:
1 Tap the storage status icons to open the storage settings.
2 Select the card or drive you want to format. This could be an SD card or external USB-C
flash disk. For example, on a 4K video assist select 'format card 1'. To format a drive on
12G video assist models, tap 'drive list' and then select the drive you want to format to
highlight it. Tap 'format drive'.
When formatting on 12G video assist models, you can also add
the name for your card or drive using the edit box
