Hi folks, I know when flying with the MP2, and using an SD card, the drone will first save the videos/photos onto it's internal 8 GB drive. Once the data passes the 8 GB limit, do the next files, videos and photos I record go into the SD card I put in? I used to have issues with this on my Mavic Air.

I’m not sure, I do know there’s a toggle in dji go 4 setting to switch between SD card and internal storage...

The MA does just stop then you have to stop record and manually select SD card to resume - will be interesting to see if this has updated on the M2

Hi, I appreciate your time bringing this query to us. You may choose to save your videos and photos into your SD card or to the Mavic 2 Pro's internal memory. If the internal memory if full, files will automatically save to SD card. If you have any question, please let us know. Thank you.

You are given the option to select the storage system you want. I would select SD card first keeping an empty internal storage as the spill over should I forget to empty the card before that day's shoot

More reason to default to SD; flash memory has limited write cycles, 500-10000 depending on type.
Albeit, you'd have to be filling the internal drive dozens of times a day for issues to crop up in the future.

Sounds like you got the answer but yes there is a setting to switch it from internal to the sd card. When I took my first flight it filled up the internal then switched to the card.  After that without any prompting from me it auto saved to the sd card. -- Perhaps there was a question when I got the pop up I do not remember I was trying to get it off my screen as fast as possible.  But later I was scrolling through all the settings and saw it.
