I've been having trouble recording video and taking sphere photos. Video recording sometimes cuts out, and the drone gives up before taking all pics for a sphere.


I've noticed that a little yellow triangle appears above the sd card icon on the camera OSD just before the video recording stops. I've tried reformatting the card and it's worked for a while, but sooner or later the problem reappears.

What does this yellow triangle mean? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the manual. I'm hoping I've just got a dodgy SD card, which isn't a big deal, rather than that there's something wrong with my lovely li'l spark!

Does anyone recognise this problem?

Hi, please provide a screenshot with the yellow triangle. What is the firmware of your drone? Please tell me the version of your app. I would recommend you change a SD card for check. Please keep us updated, thanks.

Here's a screenshot:


I have the most recent version of the drone's firmware and the app.

Is your SD a recommended card?

Sandisk 16/32 GB UHS-1 Micro SDHC
Kingston 16/32 GB UHS-1 Micro SDHC
Samsung 16/32 GB UHS-I Micro SDHC
Sandisk 64 GB UHS-1 Micro SDXC
Kingston 64 GB UHS-1 Micro SDXC
Samsung 64 GB UHS-I Micro SDXC

Yes, I think so...

Please try to format your SD card or change another one for check. Thanks for your support.

I just tried a new SD card and it's working fine now, thanks for the help!

It's a bit strange that there's nothing about this warning triangle in the manual though—what's the point of having it if people don't know what it means? Presumably it means there's a problem with writing data... but it'd be nice if that were clearer.

I have been asking DJI for months to provide us with a list of all warning messages/symbols, what triggers the message, and recommended pilot action.

You are welcome. Thanks for your suggestion. Have fun.

Que tarjeta micro sd le compraste?

I googled "dji spark yellow icon sd card" & discovered the following links that may assist.
I guess the yellow icon indicates a speed or formatting error regarding the SD Card.
The SD Card should be in FAT32 format.  The maximum file size is 4Gb. Windows will accept a total drive size up to 32 GB. As Spark is running Android & supports 64 GB cards your experience may differ depending on the OS reading the SD Card.   In theory, Android is based on Linux & should support EXT2/3/4 - depending on how the kernel was compiled this may not relate to 'external SD Cards'  - I'm also searching  for answers as I believe the OS running Spark is in ext format. Maybe we can check via ADB tools. Simple - but I never tried to hack my Spark so I can not confirm. It can be done. Either way, DJI should provide a simple answer for warning icons instead of asking for screen shots - SD Card yellow icon should be enough for DJI to assist further.Maybe run chkdsk or do a low level format via a PC on the problem SD Card. Times have changed scince the old IDE hard drive days but the basics may still apply with ATA, SATA & other storage devices. If that doesn't fix the problem, replace the faulty storage device, as you have already done with success (?).
