2. Setup

To begin using your Lexar CFexpress Type B memory card, follow these general steps for insertion into a compatible camera or device. Always refer to your device's instruction manual for specific card slot locations and insertion procedures.

1. Locate the Memory Card Slot: Identify the CFexpress Type B card slot on your camera or device. This is often located behind a protective cover on the side or bottom of the device.
2. Orient the Card: Hold the Lexar CFexpress Type B card with the label facing the correct direction as indicated by your device's manual or markings near the slot. CFexpress Type B cards are designed to be inserted in only one orientation.
3. Insert the Card: Gently slide the memory card into the slot until it clicks into place. Do not force the card, as this may damage the card or the device.
4. Close the Card Slot Cover: Securely close the protective cover of the card slot.
5. Format the Card (Recommended): For optimal performance and to ensure compatibility, it is recommended to format the memory card using your camera's internal formatting function before its first use and periodically thereafter. Refer to your camera's manual for instructions on how to format a memory card. Formatting will erase all data on the card.

This card is also backwards-compatible with select XQD cameras, offering versatility across various devices. Ensure your XQD camera has the necessary firmware update to support CFexpress Type B cards.
