Thank you for your interest in Sony products.

We have found an issue that with some SD memory cards of SF-M series, SF-M series TOUGH specification and SF-G series TOUGH specification, recorded data on the card may be damaged or data may not be recorded correctly on the card when shooting movies using a camera* compatible with listed video speed class.
  * The camera compatible with video speed class V60/V90 etc. as recommended recording media

To address this issue we are implementing a free replacement program for affected SD memory cards.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

*As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, some of our services may be impacted. While we will try to minimise this, delays may occur. We seek your kind understanding during this challenging period.

[How to identify affected SD Memory Cards]
SF-M series: 
Applicable cards can be identified by the presence of “R:277MB/s and W:150MB/s” (V60) on the card frontside. To check whether your card is affected, look for a star mark at the lower left corner on the back of the card.
If your card has NO star mark, your card is affected by this issue.

SF-M series TOUGH specification: 
To check whether your card is affected, look for a star mark on the lower left corner at the back of the card.
If your card has NO star mark, your card is affected by this issue.

SF-G series TOUGH specification: 
To check whether your card is affected, look for a star mark and an alphanumeric at the lower corner on the back of the card.
If your card has NO star mark and has an alphanumeric beginning with “TV”, your card is affected by this issue.
(If your card has an alphanumeric beginning with “TR” or "DV" (updated on 25th Mar 2021), or has a star * mark, your card is not affected by this issue.)
