You have to create a folder or folders and put all your files in that folder or folders.....then you will not have the file limit.

According to the instructions, there is no limit or specific type required. Since my camera never worked I have no way to prove that. I tried about ten card sizes and types to no avail.

What I did was to create a single folder called MusicMix, and dumped almost 500 of my favorite tunes into it. I would think that if you created a complex directory structure, it might be fairly difficult to negotiate. Also, another consideration would be the class of Micro SD card you are using, the faster the read and write might be problematic. Please note that the inability to shuffling music is a huge disappointment.

Gary, I'm really not sure, but I don't think it does. I am using a 32 gig as well and I just checked my card today and it showed 99% full. But I could not really tell if it had try to overwrite the existing files. Not much help I'm afraid.

So far, I've used 16GB and a 32Gb cards. I am not entirely sure there is a maximum.

Make sure that the card is formatted correctly. Depending on the operating system of your computer you can insert the card into your computer and either erase all of the files or reformat the card. I bought the same card and did not have that problem. Let me know if you need further help.

I use a SanDisk 32GB SDHC card. Not sure if there is an upper capacity limit. The manufacturer recommends a class 10 card for the fastest read/write speeds.

I'm using a 32GB card in mine. . I have a 64GB card also but did not use as it was SDXC. I figured it probably wouldn't work and didn't bother trying.

I was having the same problem. The files loaded onto the card from the computer software with no problem, but I got the message "This card can not be used on this machine." After playing around with it, I found that for it to work I need to be sure that I only save them to the card with the 4" x 4" / 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" hoop selected. I get the error message if I select either of the bigger hoop sizes, even if the design itself is small enough to fit. Hope this helps!

Sorry, biggest I have used is 32 GB. I like to keep image files on more smaller capacity cards. The ole "don't place all of your eggs in one basket" ploy

And it will take up to 128 GB capacity cards. Manual also states that only Lucas cards will work, but not sure if this is true in real life. If someone tried non-Lucas cards - please feel free to chime in.

I think it is because the card is just for storage of files. You should also check to see if your settings are set to load to the sd card. I still am telling everyone, this is a sincere waste of money. They have the worst customer service also. Read the comments under "It just exploded" I explain why this is a piece of junk and my friend, I would not recommend this to my worst enemy.

I think the "recommended" max is 16GB (and 8GB for certain kinds of music file formats), but I've seen posts from users who've exceeded the OEM "recommended" size with no problem. I use a 16GB card ... zero problems. However, if you're inclined to try a larger card, I'd stop at 64GB.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

Mine is not working properly. when I save files over 128GB. The files disappear and I have only empty folders even though the drive shows that the space is being used. It is a waste of money.

ojocam says 32GB max and use no higher than class 6. I am using a 16GB class 4 and set it to loop and it will keep recording when card fills up. Will erase oldest file.

Actually, there's something in the manual about a video limit (NOT card limit) of 2GB (Video recording) at a time, but I am unclear about what happens then. Does one simply start recording again or is the max 2GB size just inaccurate; at that point. In any case, I don't think I'll be doing 2GB clips; without pause anyway, so no big deal.BTW, I like a 4GB (or bigger) SDHC (extreme III and reader) because I can take a bunch of pictures and still have room for video clips. I have extra 4GB cards not yet open.
