STORAGE
The D5300 stores images on Secure Digital
(SD), SDHC, and SDXC cards. On long trips
it’s easy to fill up even large-capacity
memory cards and they are now
remarkably cheap, so it’s advisable to carry
a spare or two.
Memory card performance is measured
in two ways: speed rating or rated speed
(e.g. 30MB/s) is the key measure when
shooting stills, especially RAW files.
The other measure is class or speed
class rating (e.g. Class 10), which is more
important when shooting video.
Note:
There seems to be no evidence that
modern airport X-ray machines have
any harmful eff ect on either digital
cameras or memory cards.
› Memory cards › Card care
Memory cards rarely fail but it’s always
worth backing up valuable images as soon
as possible. Many photographers use some
sort of mobile device for backing up.
Dedicated photo storage devices like the
Vosonic VP8870 and Epson P7000 are
increasingly hard to find, as most people
(if they back up at all!) now use a laptop,
smartphone, or tablet (see page 224).
› Portable storage devices
If a memory card is lost or damaged
before downloading or backing up, your
images are lost too. Blank cards are cheap
but cards full of images are irreplaceable—
unlike the camera itself. As SD cards use
solid-state memory, they are pretty robust
but it’s still wise to treat them with care.
Keep them in their original plastic cases, or
something more substantial, and avoid
exposure to extremes of temperature,
direct sunlight, liquids, and strong
electromagnetic fields.
