Which File System is best for high-capacity memory cards?
• FAT32: This is the recommended file system for SD and SDHC memory cards. It is limited to a 4GB size for individual files.
• exFAT: This file system replaces FAT32 and is an acronym for Extended File Allocation Table. This system allows for individual files larger than 4GB. And for larger SD cards, this is the default file system. This is the recommended file system for SDXC memory cards.
