Which card should you use in the Sony FX6?
Start with the file format in the video menu. Each recording setting below is paired with a full-size SD card whose rating meets Sony’s published requirement for normal recording with proxies off.
| Recording setting | Card pick based on specifications |
|---|---|
| XAVC-I · HD Class100 · 25p | SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I 128 GB · U3 / V30 |
| XAVC-I · HD Class100 · 50p | SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II 128 GB · V60 |
On the FX6, Class100 identifies the XAVC-I HD recording profile. Sony’s table allows the U3 SanDisk at 25p. Switch to the V60 SanDisk when changing that same profile to 50p. Both settings record 1920 × 1080.
If you switch between settings in the table, pack the highest class shown. For slow motion, proxies or a different frame rate, check the matching row in the manual before shooting.
SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC V30
★ Editors’ pick · Video on V60 SD
SanDisk Extreme PRO SDXC V60
Check the slot first: this Extreme PRO is full-size SD, unlike the similarly named microSD above. In a UHS-II camera mode that calls for V60, it provides a 60 MB/s minimum sequential write rating. I would start here when none of the modes I use needs more.
Which cards fit?
Higher read speed can shorten copies with a suitable reader. It does not change camera bitrate or recording time at equal capacity.
