Solution

Initializing Recording Media

Initialize cards when you use them with the EOS C500 Mark II for the first time. You can also initialize a card to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.
  1. Select MENU > [ Recording/Media Setup] > [Initialize Media].
  2. Select [CFexpress A], [CFexpress B] or [SD Card].
  3. Select [OK].
    • The card is initialized and all the data it contains is erased.
  4. When the confirmation message appears, press SET.

 IMPORTANT​
  • ​SD cards are initialized using the FAT12 / FAT 16 file system, SDHC cards using the FAT 32 file system, and SDXC and CFexpress cards using the exFAT file system.
  • Initializing a card will permanently erase all data, including photos and protected custom picture files. Lost data cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance.
  • Depending on the card, initialization may take up to a few minutes.

 NOTES
  • While recording on a CFexpress card, you can initialize another CFexpress card in the other CFexpress card slot.
  • If you set an assignable button to [Initialize Media], you can press the button to open the [Initialize Media] submenu.
