This morning I went out to take some video and after 4 videos I got an error message indicating that there is no more space available for video.  However when I got home I saw that there was still some 17GB available on the card.  What happened?

Hi,

Any chance your working on a Mac?
If so and you've recently delete some files from your memory card but haven't emptied your trash, this might be the cause of your missing space.

Good luck!

Is it possible that you got a counterfeit SD card?

Hi there, thank you for reaching out. Regarding your question just to clarify have you set the default storage to SD card?

Thank you for your comment.

It is an authentic SanDisk 32GB card. Maybe I just misunderstood the message which could have meant that the video was approaching 4GB and thus seen as being "Full".  Could that be the case?

Thank you for your reply.

yes it is set because I took 4 other video`s before that one.

Could it be that it was that the recording was approaching 4GB which is the maximum for FAT32?

Hi,

I’m this case I’d say yes. FAT32 vids/clips are usually limited to 4GB per clip, although it should just start a new file. It’s odd. Can you record your phone screen and post a vid?

Was it not video cache which was full?

Thank you for your comments.
I really don't know what it is. However I will try to replicate the message and take a photo there-of.
