replaced FAT32+ with exFAT

| May 25, 2022 at 22:55 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | 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). | |
| May 25, 2022 at 22:48 | comment | added | Neppomuk | 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. | |
| May 25, 2022 at 22:46 | comment | added | ChanganAuto | 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. | |
