How to make the SD card readable on Mac

Please use the Windows computer. Take Win10 as an example. Plug your card into the computer, it will prompt you that this card is not readable, and ask you to format it. Click “No”, don’t format the card now.

Now, right-click “This PC” or “My Computer”. Then click “Manage”.

Find “Disk Management”

Find the disk for your SD card. Yours may not called “Disk 2”, but you can find the one with the capacity close to 128GB, such as mine, 119.25GB, then that’s the disk for your SD card. Or you can remove the SD card from the computer, to see which Disk disappear, then that’s it.

You will see that the Disk has 2 partition, one is 16MB, the other is 119.23GB. (Yours may not the same number). Right-click on the larger one, and choose “Delete Volume…”

Click “Yes”, then you’ll see that the Disk has been combined to a single one.

Then remove the SD card from the computer, and plug it into the camera. Power on the camera, you will see that the camera doesn’t start recording automatically. Go to the Settings of the camera.

Find the “Format” option, and format the SD card. Once finish, you can use the card normally in your Mac.

Please remember not format the card in your Mac again in the future, just format it in the camera.
