SD Card Expectations
SD (Secure Digital): A flash memory card format
Each group will share one memory card. Remember your card # and store in the correct slot when not in use.
Format your memory card to your camera when starting with a new camera. Formatting your card erases all of your files so make sure you have transferred all files to your computer first.
SD cards can corrupt - always transfer your files to your computer ASAP.
Store files in “My Drive” > “Video Production”
Always “Eject” an SD card before removing from a computer.
How to Eject an SD Card
On Desktop, right-click on it, then click “Eject “SD Card””
In Finder, click the eject button next to it’s name
