The device you are using may not be compatible with SDXC memory cards.

Check the system requirements of your device.

If you use the computer, installing the update program may solve this problem.

Yes, you can.

However, there are some restrictions for importing and exporting images stored on the SDXC memory cards.

• When the camera is connected to another device such as a computer or an AV device using a USB cable, the device must be compatible with the file format "exFAT" which is adopted for SDXC memory cards.
• When you insert the SDXC memory card into the card slot of the devise and import images directly, the card slot must be compatible with the SDXC memory cards.

Check the system requirements of the device in advance.

If you insert the SDXC memory card into a non-compatible device, a message to recommend card format may appear. In this case, do not format the card, otherwise all the data will be lost.
