Preparing Media on Windows
The ‘format’ dialog box can format your camera’s storage media in the exFAT format on a
Windows PC. Remember to backup anything important from your media first as all data will be
lost when it is formatted.
1 Connect your camera’s storage media to your computer using an external reader,
USB-C cable or adapter.
2 Open the ‘start’ menu or ‘start’ screen and choose ‘computer’. Right click on your
camera’s storage media.
3 From the contextual menu, choose ‘format’.
4 Set the file system to ‘exFAT’ and the allocation unit size to 128 kilobytes.
5 Type a volume label, select ‘quick format’ and click ‘start’.
6 Your storage media will quickly be formatted and made ready for use.

NOTE If your recordings are dropping frames, check that your card or drive is on our
list of recommended media for the codec and frame size you are using. For lower data
rates try lowering your frame rate, resolution, or try a compressed codec such as
ProRes. Check the Blackmagic Design website for the latest information at
www.blackmagicdesign.com
NOTE Partitioned media can be used with your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera,
though your camera will only recognize the first partition of your media for recording
and playback.
It’s worth noting that if you use the storage and formatting menu to format your media,
the entire drive including all partitions will be erased, not just the first partition that has
been used for recording and playback. For this reason we strongly recommend using
media with one partition only.
