Sony A7III - Slot 1 - Sandisk 128Gb Extreme Pro SD Card errors

[NsJayJay]

30/10/2018 - Does anyone know when Sony will be releasing an update to fix the incompatibility of the latest SanDisk 128Gb Extreme Pro SD Cards in Slot 1 of the A7III???

Hello @NsJayJay,

I am not aware of any incompatibilities with certain SanDisk cards.

Which error are you getting displayed?

I get the same error message on my brand new A7RIII: "Unable to read memory card. Reinsert memory card. Slot 1."

I have upgraded firmvare to v. 2.00. The card, "Sandisk Extreme Pro 95 MB/s SD  XC I, 3-10, v30" works perfectly on my A7R.

See my previous post. When inserted into Slot 2, the camera just "hangs", no error, but the orange icon indicating slot 1 does nothing, just displays blinkin "----" ending with "No memory card inserted. Slot 1" - which is true, because I wanted to check whether slot 2 is automatically recognised (which it is on my Nikon D600).

Hello @DragosAN,

where did you purchase your card? Maybe it is counterfeit. Counterfeit cards are slower than genuine cards and that can lead to such error messages.

The card is from the official store from amazon and there is an issue with a batch

Do you get the option to format it from the camera menu? they generally need formatting via camera, my 64Gb Extreme did. Of course if you arent getting that far you could format outside of camera and retry. General advise, I havent seen the problem first hand

I found this report regarding the issue a couple of weeks ago, still waiting for any updates:-

Thanks for the clarification.

Would you mind linking an official source (e.g. manufacturer) so I can escalate it to Sony in order for them to release a help text which specifies the affected cards.
