Why is the write time to the memory card so long?

Look at the size file you are wrinting. If you are set to "large" that is the file size it is trying to save. If you set your picture size smaller, it doesn't take as long. Hope that helps =)

While saving the image to the SD card, it says "Busy".. if it is around a second or lesser, nothing to worry... however if it is Busy for longer time, it may be some issue with your SD card or Camera... you can try another card and if the behavior is same, you need to go to the nearest service center. If SD card is slow, try with another SD card with higher speed.

I tried two 64gb cards. They both seemed to record but both gave error message saying they were too slow (although they were rated fast enough). I went back to a 32gb and all is well.

The Write speed was between 9.83 MB/s and 14.43 MB/sThe Read speed was between 64 MB/s and 78 MB/sI have the 16 gb and I used usbflashspeed for benchmark

I am using Micro SD 32G and set up a recording continue sly over write on SD, works fine for me. I do See the required for more memory so far!

I've never allowed the memory card to reach its capacity... you might want to contact the manufacturer on that one.

Hi,If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out.If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

No this is not normal Do you have another memory card you have formatted in the K5? If yes than the 32gb could be defective.

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

Those cards should be fast enough. RAW+jpeg might slow it down a little. Another reason you may be getting a BUSY message is if the camera's flash is charging up.

O.k so I got the 16gb sandisk extreme 3 sdhc card and with nothing on it it says on the LCD: "R10m30s". So, 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Hope this helps.

No. There's no time limit. The limitation is memory card size, file size, and battery life.

It could be a memory issue. I got the lower 48 downloaded after inserted a 2 gig (I think that was the size) MicroSD card. Try it.

I ordered this one:SanDisk Ultra 32GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter, Frustration-Free Packaging - SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A [Old Version]It's a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A).I would suggest that once you put it in, leave it in. Even removing and reinserting it with the power off will cause it to rescan the next time you power on. I picked a high speed device because of the scan time. It takes several minutes of scanning after I've put more music on it. I've got about 5 gig free, so it takes a long time to go through 27 gig of music.

I believe it reflects the speed of the card. The higher the class the higher the write speed.

The real problem is more likely the speed of your memory card. To record HD, you should use an Extreme III card, because the camera records faster than a typical memory card can store the data. The 15 to 30 seconds is how much your camera can hold on to while it's pushing the rest to the memory card, and once the buffer is filled, it has to stop or you would lose data.

The card I had worked perfectly with my Macbook air (late 2011), and was way faster, 1GB would take about 30 to 40 seconds to copy. I sent mine for replacement after 6 months of usage because it did not work on my new MBP (late 2013). I am supposed to get the new one shortly.
