# Insert a SD Card#1

Insert the SD card into your Camera. Once it's in, go to the menu and find the format option.

It's always best to format a SD or TF card within the ADTi cameras that will use it. Not only does this help ensure compatibility, but it also sets a block size that is optimized for the cameras. Format in your camera to minimize the potential for image loss and file corruption.
