    2:52 are swapped
    1 Megabyte=0.125 Megabits
    8 Megabyte=1 Megabit
    If you want to convert Megabytes to Megabits, multiply by 8.
    To convert from megabits to Megabytes, divide by 8.
    MBps,MB,MB/s=Megabyte
    Mbps,Mb,Mb/s= Megabit
    I hope this helped and if i’m wrong, let me know please

    The last icon is not only about the bus interface but also about the file system. SCXC uses exFat, which allows for files larger than 4GB of size. This is the limit for SDHC on the other hand. Higher bitrate video cams require a SDXC card these days, therefore.

    I bought Canon T7i in October 2017 (a couple months back). Which memory card should I buy to suit in this camera for photography?
    Because I used Sandisk Ultra 20MB/s' SDHC 16GB after download to iPad or my desktop computers, the pictures are not sharp enough.
    What reasons? Would you please explain to me.

My problem is, during shooting photo's the main display shows: "Busy". What could be the problem with this card? I'm using as i said, the Canon 80D, so only Raw photo's and Full HD videos. Thank you for your answer.

  • @TheRandomvgshow

    What is the difference between SDHC and HDXC and does it make too much difference between extreme and extreme pro cards ...

    • @el_kuks
      @el_kuks 7 років тому

      It depends on your apllication. Older Canons can run only SDHC card, which are 32GB maximum. Newer cameras can run SDXC which are larger than 32.
      Check out your user manual to know does your camera handle both SDHC and SDXC or only SDHC.

    Your saying for me to do Videos say to post on Utube..Which I’m trying to learn how to do in HD or any Video my Memory Card needs to be at least a 32GB? Is this correct??🤔🤔 Did I understand you correctly?? 🤔 This is my first really updated new camera and slowly learning how to set it up and use it!! So I don’t want to do anything to mess the camera up 🤔 Thank you any and all advice in advance much appreciated..
    Thank You 😊 Shey

  • @ToxicTeemoOCE
    @ToxicTeemoOCE 6 років тому

    Don't forget the number on the front of the card is the read speed. A Sandisk might be marked 90 MB/S but that is the read speed. The write speed might only be 60 MB/S.

  • @wastelandrebelshiasu9489
    @wastelandrebelshiasu9489 8 років тому

    Thank you SO MUCH! I had been so confused and frustrated as to why my Canon 700D keeps stopping the recording automatically after 2-3 minutes on average, even though all the tutorials said it would be fine as long as you use a brand name class SD card higher than class 6 and format your card before filming. Both SD cards I use (which were recommended to me in the store) were mentioned in your video: SanDisk Ultra 16 GB class 10 SDHC I 30MB/s reading speed (now I know it's only the reading speed!) and the SanDisk Ultra 32 GB class 10 SDHC I 80MB/s reading speed. They should be fine according to what's floating around on the internet, but obviously they were not. Thank you for explaining it in detail! I will get a new SD card asap :).

    Hello I hope that you can answer my question. I recently purchased an action camera the Akaso Brave 4 and I'm trying to figure out what type of 64GB micro SD card do I need. I would like to be able to record video in 4K, but some people are telling me that the Akaso Brave 4 does not record in reel 4K. I don't know what that means because the camera has the option to record in 4K, 2K and 1080p HD and 720p HD. So I hope you know what I am talking about and I hope that you can recommend a 64GB micro SD card that I should use with my Akaso Brave 4 action camera, that will give me the best video quality when I am recording. Weather it be in HD or 4K, thank you so much I appreciate your time and I hope to hear back from you soon!*

    The camera can use UHS-I cards, but since it is not compatible with the

    Class 10 at most. This is written on manual of canon 1300d. So does it mean sandisk extreme is not useful for canon 1300.?? Please help

    I have a Sena Prism Tube (motorbike action helmet cam). I use a 32 gb Kingston micro sd card and it's corrupt, I can't get it to work. What micro sd card should I get?
