USB-C flash disks can be formatted directly by the camera or via a Mac or Windows computer.
Preparing Media on Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2:
1 Using the arrow and set buttons, select format media and press ‘set’.
2 Use the arrow buttons to select the drive you want to format and press ‘set’. On the next
page select ‘Mac OS Extended’ or ‘exFAT’ and press ‘set’.
3 A confirmation screen will ask you to confirm your selection, select ‘format’ to continue or
‘cancel’ to return to the previous screen.
4 A formatting message and progress bar will be displayed. Once completed, select ‘ok’.
You camera will format USB-C flash disks as HFS+, this is also known as Mac OS X Extended
and is the recommended format as it supports ‘journaling’. Data on journaled media is more
likely to be recovered in the rare event that your storage media becomes corrupted. HFS+ is
natively supported by Mac. exFAT is supported natively by Mac and Windows without needing
any additional software but does not support journaling.
Preparing Media on a Mac
The Disk Utility application included with the Mac operating system can format your USB-C
flash disks in the HFS+ and exFAT formats.
