Hello, Problem as in the subject, I have a Samsung EVO + 4K 64GB card in the exFAT file system but my camera only supports the FAT32 file system, i.e. it sees it but the only resolution I can enable is 1080p @ 30fps. How can I permanently convert it to the FAT32 file system and with what...

including: However, we do not know if the camera will handle such capacity, because you have not been kind enough to give it a model and the fairies are free on holidays.

In the camera options, you can make a card format for a file system that the camera supports, then other resolution options will appear. You can also perform the card format on a computer with Windows, in the My Computer window, right-click on the drive under which the memory card appeared, choose format, then change the file system type from Fat to Fat 32.

@pidar Are you sure you format the 64GB card? The program will not support the 64GB card. Out of curiosity, I tried to format it with a 64GB / FAT32 card (previously formatted with the FAT32format program) and an effect like on the screenshot. And that's what FAT32format did

Forgive me that I did not specify what camera I am doing. ReadLeaf SJ5000 + (codification in the link: It supports 64GB card, otherwise it would pop up a message about the lack of a card, there is only a problem with choosing the resolution as I wrote earlier.

Hello,
Problem as in the subject, I have a Samsung EVO + 4K 64GB card in the exFAT file system but my camera only supports the FAT32 file system, i.e. it sees it but the only resolution I can enable is 1080p @ 30fps.
How can I permanently convert it to the FAT32 file system and with what parameters?

The systems I have at my disposal are Win7, WinXP, Linux Mint.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh, OK.
On the 32GB card, 10 in the FAT32 file format, everything is available without any problems. Will do and see what will happen, let the program end.
I'll let you know if it went. At the most I will have to buy a 32GB card.

I understand, I just put a Kingston 32GB class 10 card, U1, and everything works and the quality of the movie is great.

I have already booked such https://www.euro.com.pl/karty-pamieci/samsung-microsd-pro-plus-32gb.bhtml

Thanks for your help and advice, too much of everything sometimes to sit down and read, now with this 32GB card will not be a problem and I will use it for something as I wrote.
Oh, the instructions are written up to 32GB , but in the manufacturer's specification is max 64GB and that's what I suggested.

Thanks again and best regards.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around converting a Samsung EVO+ 4K 64GB SDXC card from exFAT to FAT32 to ensure compatibility with a camera that only supports FAT32. Users suggest formatting the card using various methods, including using the camera's formatting options or Windows' built-in formatting tools. Some users recommend using the FAT32 Format program, while others caution that formatting a 64GB card may not be supported by all tools. The original poster confirms that a 32GB class 10 card works without issues, while the 64GB card does not allow for higher resolution settings. Ultimately, it is noted that the camera may not properly recognize the 64GB card, leading to the recommendation of using a 32GB card instead.

FAQ

TL;DR: For RedLeaf SJ5000+, U1 cards write 10 MB/s and "You need a card U3." Convert to FAT32 with a proper tool, but many users solved 4K/quality limits by switching to a 32GB card. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913702]

Why it matters: This helps action‑cam owners fix "only 1080p@30fps" or card‑not‑recognized issues fast.

Max supported capacity for SJ5000+ is up to 32GB (per manual screenshot). [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913671]
U1 = 10 MB/s; for higher bitrates, choose U3. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913702]
FAT32format/GUIFormat successfully formatted 64GB to FAT32 in tests. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913635]
Final fix reported: use a 32GB card; problem disappeared. [Elektroda, Chines88, post #17784067]
Prefer quick format; repeated full formats wear cells. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913683]

How do I convert a 64GB exFAT card to FAT32 for my camera?

Use the FAT32format/GUIFormat tool referenced in the thread. Connect the card via a reader, select the drive, pick 32K allocation (typical), and click Start. Then insert the card into the camera and let the camera quick‑format once. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913591]

Will a 64GB Samsung EVO+ work in the RedLeaf SJ5000+?

Users found 64GB cards led to limited modes or recognition issues. One user resolved everything by switching to a 32GB card, confirming stable compatibility. If 64GB seems to work on PC, the camera may still restrict resolution. The practical fix was buying a 32GB card. [Elektroda, Chines88, post #17784067]

Why does my camera only allow 1080p@30fps when the card is exFAT?

The camera model discussed requires FAT32 for full feature access. With exFAT, it sees the card but restricts available resolutions to 1080p@30fps. Reformatting the card to FAT32 restored higher options for users. “Format to the file system the camera supports” is the key guidance. [Elektroda, Chines88, post #16913576]

Do I need to do a full format or is quick format enough?

Quick (fast) format is enough and takes under a minute. Full formats add unnecessary wear to flash cells without improving camera compatibility. Experts in the thread called full format “completely unnecessary.” Use quick format on PC, then format once more in‑camera. [Elektroda, mati211p, post #16913677]

Which microSD speed class should I use for 4K or high‑bitrate modes?

Avoid U1 for 4K work. U1 sustains about 10 MB/s and caused write‑speed limits in the thread. “You need a card U3" for demanding modes. Choose U3 on reputable brands (Samsung Pro/Plus, SanDisk Extreme). This eliminates buffer drops and unlocks higher resolutions. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913702]

My 64GB FAT32 card still won’t unlock resolutions—what next?

The camera may not properly detect 64GB even when FAT32. Try a known‑good 32GB U3 card. Class 10 is the minimum; faster cards improve reliability. If 32GB works immediately, stay with that capacity for this model. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913683]

What is FAT32, and why do some cameras require it?

FAT32 is a legacy file system widely used by cameras for broad compatibility. The SJ5000+ discussed expects FAT32 to expose all video options. Using exFAT on this model limited resolution selection until the card was reformatted to FAT32. [Elektroda, Chines88, post #16913576]

Which tool actually worked in this thread to make 64GB FAT32?

FAT32format (also known as GUIFormat) successfully created a FAT32 volume on a 64GB card during testing. Screenshots showed the tool handling the task when others failed. It’s a common fix for Windows users. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913635]

Can I just format the card in‑camera instead of on a PC?

Yes. The camera’s menu lets you format the card to its preferred file system. After PC formatting, insert the card and run the camera’s format once to ensure proper structure and folders. This often restores full resolution menus. [Elektroda, nomudrek, post #16913605]

Is a Samsung EVO+ 64GB U1 card sufficient for 4K on this camera?

No. The EVO+ 64GB discussed is U1, rated at 10 MB/s, and was called “much worse” for video. The recommendation was a U3 card to achieve reliable, higher‑bitrate recording without dropped frames or mode limits. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913702]

What was the final outcome for the original poster?

They confirmed the 64GB card wasn’t supported by the webcam/camera driver. After buying a 32GB card, the issue disappeared, and all modes worked as expected. This aligns with the model’s 32GB guidance. [Elektroda, Chines88, post #17784067]

Is there any downside to repeated full formats on microSD?

Yes. Flash memory has limited write cycles. Full formats add heavy, needless writes that can shorten card life. Use quick formats, then an in‑camera format. One expert emphasized avoiding full formats for this reason. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913683]

How do I check if my camera supports cards larger than 32GB?

Read the camera’s manual or spec sheet. In the thread, a manual screenshot explicitly stated support “up to 32GB.” If the manual says 32GB max, using 64GB can cause recognition or mode limits even if PC formatting succeeds. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913671]

Can I do this on Linux or Windows XP/7 without special drivers?

Yes. The referenced FAT32format utility handles large‑capacity FAT32 on Windows, avoiding command‑line hassles. After converting, insert the card and format once in the camera. Linux users can format FAT32 with standard tools, but the thread’s proven path used GUIFormat. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913591]

Quick 3‑step: How do I unlock higher resolutions on SJ5000+?

Use GUIFormat to format the card as FAT32 on PC.
Insert the card and run the camera’s Format once.
If 64GB still limits modes, switch to a 32GB U3 card. [Elektroda, Robert B, post #16913591]
