CF Card Formatting Question. ExFat, Or..?
Hi people,
I'yard just formatting a CF Card for use in my DSLR and don't know what format to gear up it to (using a mac). Should I apply ExFat, as you would a SD Card, or MS-DOF (FAT)?
I'one thousand on disc utility and but trying to work out the best way of doing this!
Oh and besides, should I format the SD and CF Cards in-camerabesides as on the mac?
Many thanks!

You lot only want to format your SD or CF carte du jour in photographic camera. Exercise not overthink this or format the card on your computer. Just your photographic camera. On my cameras it literally takes near one second and I practice information technology before every photo consignment.

Reformatting in camera has the added advantage that you lot don't have to think about which format to use. The camera knows.

Remember for minute. You lot format hard rives for your computer because..?? You write to them with your computer. Your formatting a card (basically a tiny hard dive) to utilize....? In your camera. It'south the thing doing the writing. NOT your figurer. It's only doing the reading. No demand to format it for the computer.
Then, format it with your camera. You lot will find out how in the manual. You lot know. The thing know ane reads.
Pretty piece of cake though. Put it in the camera. Scroll through the camera's card. Find the function called, "Format". Press OK. Will probably give you a alarm that all images will be erased. Press OK over again. Done. Hopefully you saved all your images from the last shoot. On your computer.
Do this EVERY Fourth dimension you begin a session.

Format the menu in the camera as stated by other posters.
But, to answer your question the menu is formatted as Fat32 or MS-DOS on your MAC.

Format your CF cards in camera and the SD cards with this awarding on your PC/MAC. The depression level formatting really speeds upwardly SD cards which would need to erase the location every time the card is written. Not so with CF cards.

I constitute this old threat searching for the same answer and i have to say that i disagree with all of the to a higher place answers.
Formating in exFAT seems to iffer many advantages, like writing files bigger than 4GB in video and your data being more resistant to corruption.
Canon states for 6D (and i suppose it s the same in all its cameras):
If you have an EOS 6D DSLR and another camera that also uses SD cards, you may run across an issue when moving loftier capacity cards between the two. Any retention carte with a capacity of 128GB or lower – when used with an EOS 6D – will be formatted in FAT format. However, cards with a chapters greater than 128GB volition exist formatted in exFAT format. If you take this card and attempt to use it in some other camera you may find a carte error as exFAT will not be recognised. To avoid this, either use smaller capacity cards, or ensure you lot only use your larger cards in the EOS 6D.

I suppose that the simply reason that exFAT is not the default choise for all cards is compatibility with older cameras, but if this is not your instance so you should probably employ exFAT.

Seriously...you disagree with formatting the card in the camera for which it's existence used?

I've seen enough of threads where someone formatted a carte in the calculator and it didn't work properly later. Formatting in the camera it'due south being used in properly sets up the file & folders for that camera. Also, eighteen years of formatting in camera is all the proof I need.
And then...what is it you disagree with that formatting in the camera is completely safety & reliable?

Re: CF Carte Formatting Question. ExFat, Or..?
I never said that it is non safe etc Trying to manipulate what I wrote? I just said that there is no scientific proof that it is safER etc. I recollect i made my argument articulate. there is no proof that i method of formating is better than the other, but there are clear advantages of the exFAT file organization in comparison to FAT.
but everyone is entitled to his own opinion and feel. I know people that fume for 50 years, I m sure that based on their feel cigarette smoking does not crusade cancer.... what other proof practise they need?

Forget "scientific proof" and try a picayune common sense.
Photography comes with a lot of "rule of thumb" so formatting in photographic camera is just one of them.

And so, all this fighting and not answering the OP question is cool (really, non really) merely there is a very proficient reason to just answer the question. I have a CF menu that is not being read in camera, therefore tin can't exist formatted in camera. Other threads addressing this consequence recommend erasing the card on the computer. Therefore, what is the best format to apply when erasing on a computer (I'chiliad on a Mac)? Cheers, all.

When I had an issue with a Lexar menu (turned out to be an issue with my computer), they recommended I format the card in the reckoner first, then in the camera. By the way, did you observe this thread is over three years old?
Incidentally, those of usa who take been around for eons can remember a time when cameras formatted by default using FAT, with the result that if you used a large enough card, you'd be missing much of the capacity of the card if formatted in camera. The solution was to format the card in the computer using FAT32 instead of Fat, which the camera was able to use. This is an onetime memory from my early digital camera days, so I reserve the right to have some of the details wrong. I think the issue first came to a head with cards that exceeded ii GB for the get-go fourth dimension.

Format information technology on your computer in FAT32.
Put it into you camera and try and format information technology again.
If information technology can't, or won't toss the menu.
