Join Richard Harrington for an in-depth discussion in this video Understanding microSD card messages, part of Learning to Shoot with the GoPro HERO 4 and Session 4.
- On the front of your camera is likely an LCD screen,…and if you're using the GoPro Session,…it might be right on top, and occasionally…you might notice some error messages.…Now, these aren't necessarily critical,…two of them are in fact, no big deal.…The first thing you might see is one like this.…No SD card, the no SD card message is simply…letting you know that there's no card in the camera.…Maybe it popped out and shook loose,…and you just need to push it back in.…Or maybe you popped it out to transfer data.…
I gotta tell you, there's been times that I've…headed out for the day, got on location,…only to realize that we had no memory cards.…And it's kind of embarrassing.…Maybe it was my photo assistant,…who was transferring the data the night before,…and forgot to load them in, or maybe I just forgot,…and left my card wallet on the bed, fortunately,…these cards are easy to pick up, if you need them,…and that message is just letting you know…that there's no card in the camera.…Without that, you can't shoot.…
