FAQs

Does this card work in a standard UHS-I camera?

Yes, this card is fully backward compatible and will work in UHS-I cameras, though it will operate at UHS-I speed limits.

Can I record 4K video with this card?

Yes, it is rated V60 and U3, which are perfectly suited for smooth 4K video recording.

What is the maximum write speed?

The card features a write speed of up to 120MB/s.

Do I need a special reader for the 250MB/s speeds?

Yes, you must use a UHS-II rated SD card reader to achieve the maximum read speeds.

Is this card suitable for continuous burst shooting?

Yes, the high-speed interface makes it ideal for professional burst photography, though sustained speed depends on the camera's internal buffer.

Troubleshooting

Card is not recognized by the camera

Ensure the card is inserted correctly and the pins are clean; perform a hard restart of the camera by removing the battery for 30 seconds.

Slow transfer speeds on computer

Check that you are using a UHS-II compatible SD card reader and a USB 3.0 or higher port.

Camera indicates 'Card Error'

Attempt to format the card within the camera's internal format menu. If that fails, test the card in another device to rule out a camera slot malfunction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast read speeds of 250MB/s for quick file offloading
  • Reliable V60 video speed class performance for 4K recording
  • Generous 256GB storage capacity for long-form video shoots
  • Excellent backward compatibility with older SD standards
  • Rigorous lab-tested reliability for professional peace of mind

Cons

  • Requires a UHS-II compatible card reader to achieve advertised speeds
  • Write speeds are slower than read speeds, which may be a bottleneck for some burst photography
  • Higher initial cost compared to entry-level UHS-I cards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the card, insert it into your camera's SD slot until it clicks. If your device supports UHS-II, the card will automatically engage its secondary row of pins for high-speed operation. For transferring files to a computer, always use a UHS-II certified SD card reader to see the benefit of the 250MB/s read speeds.

Regarding care, keep the card inside a protective case when not in use to prevent pin damage or debris accumulation in the slot. While the card is built for durability within an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, avoid exposing it to extreme moisture or static electricity. If you encounter file errors, ensure you format the card within the camera menu rather than via a computer operating system to ensure the file structure remains optimal for the camera's firmware.
