FAT32 IS the problem! Please read and understand superuser.com/questions/64858/… as the the question as been flagged as duplicate. Suggesting NTFS or the new exFAT (supposedly better for flash memory) is fine, never FAT32.

This is why I said FAT32+, not FAT32. And: I know from my camera (Canon EOS 70D) that it does store files > 4 GB on a pre-formatted SD card.

In a pre-formatted SD card with other than FAT32, likely exFAT, sure. Not in a FAT32 formatted card without either (1) reformatting it to a compatible file system or (2) using some file splitting trickery. More likely #1 because it explicitly says here support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART142743 that "This device incorporates exFAT technology licensed from Microsoft". Also support for FAT32+ and FAT16+ is limited to some versions of DR-DOS and not available in mainstream operating systems. (from Wikipedia).

Yep, then it must be exFAT (which surprisedly makes to trouble on my Linux machine, which in turn still doesn't fully support NTFS). I've changed my answer accordingly.

Any major Linux distro supports perfectly NTFS for decades now. exFAT support is also at the kernel level (5.x) in all current Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives, Arch/Manjaro and derivatives, etc. etc. If running older kernels then exfat-tools (or something like that) must be installed.
