How to Format SD Card and Reset AKASO V50 Elite Camera

This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions to format the SD card and reset your AKASO V50 Elite camera to its factory default settings.

Before You Begin: Important Precautions

• Backup Your Data: Formatting the SD card will permanently erase all photos and videos stored on it. Please copy any important files to your computer before proceeding.
• Use a Compatible Card: Ensure you use a recommended microSD card (Class 10 or UHS-I, up to 64GB). Formatting the card in the camera helps maintain its performance and compatibility.
• Fully Charged Battery: Make sure your camera's battery is sufficiently charged to avoid interruption during the process.

Note: If your camera is unavailable, you can format the SD card using a computer and a card reader.

1. Insert the SD card into your computer using a card reader.
2. Open "This PC" (Windows) or "Finder" (Mac).
3. Right-click on the SD card drive and select "Format".
4. In the format window, select FAT32 as the file system. This is the format required for the camera.
5. Click "Start" to begin the formatting process. Again, ensure you have backed up all data first.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Q1: The camera says "SD Card Error". What should I do?

• Try formatting the card in the camera using Method 1 above.
• If formatting fails, try using a different, brand-name SD card to see if the issue is with the card itself.

Q2: I reset the camera, but my problems are not solved.

• Ensure you are using a compatible and properly formatted SD card.
• For persistent issues, you may need to check for a firmware update or contact AKASO customer support.

Q3: Does resetting the camera delete my photos?

• No. Resetting the camera (Factory Reset) only restores system settings like video resolution, exposure, and language. It does not affect the files on your SD card. Formatting the SD card, however, will delete everything on it.

We hope this guide helps you manage your AKASO V50 Elite effectively. If you continue to experience issues, please contact AKASO Customer Support for further assistance.
