the 8.3 (8 characters, a point and an extension of 3 charachters) format is typical for FAT, which is used by DJI. Following the manual the Mini 2 supports FAT and exFAT as formats of the SD card. Windows 10 is an NTFS based operating system. If you would format the SD card as NTFS, which is possible on Windows 10, your drone couldn't even use your SD card anymore. Therefor you should format the SD card only in your drone. Ps, camera's do the same.
Althou there's an backward compatibility for long file names (LFN) in Windows for FAT formated media. It has it's own system to store a long file name in a non-visible file and make an 8.3 alternative file name. With other words, your Windows 10 messes up the file system used by your camera or drone. The best thing is to copy your pictures or video from the SD to your PC and then reformat the SD card in your drone before reusing that SD card.
After reading your story, I continued to study exFat because I did not understand that adjustments to 14.3 characters did not cause a problem before. I found the table below which states that file names up to 255 characters in length are supported. Since exFat is supported according to the manual, this shouldn't really be a problem. Hopefully DJI finds out what the long name problem is. A mini 2 that no longer responds to anything without explaining why is very frustrating. |
