Chosen Solution

Since not long ago, I face a problem with the recording. I record videos that contain or not action scenes and the recording stops (e.g. after 20 sec.) with the message « Motion recording was cancelled due to the limitation of writing speed of the card ». I don’t understand why it worked in the past and that the problem started many videos after starting using a very good card (SanDisk Extreme HD Video, 30 Mb/s; 16 Gb). Can this problem be fix? Thanks,

Eric, it is possible that your camera is having with the Speed Class 10. You may need a firmware update. I would suggest you try either a class 3 or a class 6 card and see if that will work. Here is a bit more information I found about your card “The limitation of this card is that it normally operates at 20MB/s and only achieves 30MB/s in the few devices that support UHS-I. If your device doesn’t specifically state “UHS-I”, try a more “normal” version. This is based on research and responses from SanDisk. Hope this helps, good luck.

If you switch your video recording mode off of 4k to regular HD it works smoothly… with no cancellation.

You just need a faster sd card because lumix cameras film at 100mbs

This happened to me as well with a card that I know is fast enough for the G7. I had used it in the past and everything had been fine but one day I ran into this problem and have been looking for a solution. I am going to try to format my SD card in ExFat to see if that will fix my problem.

i have this message come up after formatting my SD card now i don’t know what to do as it worked fine before. Is there a possible way to format the SD card back?
