Digital Bolex D16 - Formatting the SSD; Offloading files to the computer

When CF cards are inserted, the frame counter on your home
screen will display YELLOW (CF frames remaining) instead
of white (SSD frames remaining). When this yellow counter
reaches zero, you will need to insert a new CF card. If this
counter is RED, you will need to format your CF card.
About the Internal SSD
The SSD is capable of storing approximately 81 minutes of
footage in 2K and 120 minutes in 1080p at 24 FPS. The SSD
will record footage whether CF cards are in the camera or not.
Formatting the SSD
If you don’t have CF cards in the camera, the frame counter on
the top right of the Home Screen shows you how many frames
there are remaining on your SSD. When that counter reaches
zero, the SSD is full, and you cannot shoot any longer without
formatting.
Only format the SSD once you have conrmed that your footage
has been safely backed up to a hard drive. (If you do not know
how to back up your footage, see “Data tRansfeR” on Page 22.)
Shooting with just the SSD
Some users may nd it preferable to use the D16 without any
CF cards, using only the internal SSD to store your footage.
Shoot as you would normally, and to access your footage,
DATA MANAGEMENT 29
connect the camera to your computer via USB3 cable.
Be aware that footage from the internal SSD, when it’s full,
can take up to 2 hours to transfer via regular USB2. If you do
not have a computer with a USB3 connection, we recommend
using the SSD as a redundant backup for your CF cards rather
than shooting to SSD because of this download time.
Ofoading les to the computer
There are two way of getting your footage from the camera
into the computer for backup and editing. If you use CF cards,
you can remove the cards from the camera and use a CF card
reader to access the les on your computer. When the cards are
backed up, you can format the SSD and cards in the camera,
and continue shooting.
If you are shooting with only the SSD, you will need to connect
the camera directly to the computer via USB3 in order to access
your footage. (If you do not know how to back up your footage
using the internal SSD, see “Data tRansfeR” on Page 22. )
Editing folder names
By default, the camera records footage to folders organized by
shoot date and take number. If needed, it is possible to rename
your existing le folder to suit the needs of your project.
(To edit folder names, see “DiR naMe” on Page 23.)
