EJECT AND
FORMAT MEDIA
EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA (UNMOUNT)
IMPORTANT: To ensure data integrity, media must always be unmounted prior to removal from the camera. This
ensures that power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly unmount
media may result in lost data or corrupted files.
While removing an SSD without unmounting first does not damage the media, it does increase the risk of file
corruption. It is good practice to unmount the media if possible before removing or disconnecting. Unmounting the
digital media provides the following benefits:
Protects the integrity of your recorded data
Mounts clips instantly to your workstation in post production
NOTE: If you remove media without unmounting first, you receive a warning notification: “Media removed without first
ejecting. Data integrity risk”. Always unmount media before physically removing the disk to protect your media and
footage.
EJECT MEDIA FROM CAMERA
To eject media from a camera, follow the instructions below:
1. Eject the media using one of the following modules:
Touchscreen LCD (including REDMOTE): Go to Menu > Media > Device > Eject Media.
DSMC Side Handle (EPIC/SCARLET): Press User Key 7 (lowest of the system keys). The default function for
this key is Eject Media; however, you can remap this key.
Side media module (EPIC/SCARLET) or media bay (WEAPON, SCARLET-W, RED RAVEN): Press User
Key 1 + 2. The default function for this key combination is Eject Media; however, you can remap this key
combination.
DSMC2 Sidekick (WEAPON, SCARLET-W, RED RAVEN, RED EPIC-W): Press User Key 7 (lowest of the
system keys). The default function for this key is Eject Media; however, you can remap this key.
When media is ejected, Viewfinder output(s) display “Media ejected successfully. It is now safe to remove media”.
2. Remove media from the camera. You must format your SSD (media) before recording to it. Formatting in-camera
allows the camera to add the necessary project profile and clip log data.
IMPORTANT: Media must always be unmounted prior to removal from the camera. This ensures that power is
removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed. Failure to properly unmount media may result
