Formatting the MicroSD Card
Regularly transferring camera files to a phone or computer for backup and formatting
the microSD card via the camera or Insta360 app is recommended to prevent storage
issues.
Format via X4:
• Insert the microSD card into X4.
• Power on X4.
• Swipe down on the touchscreen to access the Shortcut Menu, then tap [Settings]
> Camera Storage > Format Storage.
Format via Insta360 App:
• Connect X4 to your phone via the Insta360 app.
• Navigate to app Settings > Other Settings > Camera Storage > Format Storage.
Note: When formatting the card using a computer, ensure it is in exFAT format, and
leave the allocation unit size as the default setting.
