SD card question

[Big Duke 6]

Hello

Absolute newbie here. Typhoon brand new out of the box. I have the machine flying after following all instructions/precautions/manual/ video advice etc. The controller tells me there is no SD card in the camera so I cannot take pictures. I do have an SD card in the camera. I formatted it to my Mac Air. Would that be the problem?
Anyway, thanks for any advice. Apologies if this is the hundredth time this has been asked.

Did you choose Fat32 when you formatted it ?

Fat32? Well I guess that answers your question. Where do I find that and how do you do it?
Thanks soooo much for your help.

Just looking in my disc utility for a Fat32 to reformat. Is it offered when you do this cause I can't see it.

Fat32 is a Windows formatting... your MacAir may not have that option... I think you can format an SD Card on the ST-16, in the pad mode.

I just format mine while it's still in the CGO3+ camera utilizing the ST16 camera settings cog icon to get to the Format SD Card menu option. Works great on both my factory supplied 16GB card as well as the 64GB card I purchased.

Note: I'm writing this from memory, so I may have some of the menu names misidentified.

On a Mac go to Applications, Utilities, Disk Utilities. pick your SD Card and then erase and pick Fat 32 or EX Fat if you're flying a 480.....

Yeah, I tried that but Fat32 wasn't offered. I ended up formatting it on my wife's PC. No prob's. Thanks for the help though!
