How to safely remove memory card from Panasonic LUMIX GH6
In order to safely remove a memory card from the Panasonic LUMIX GH6, you can take the following steps:
1. Open the card door on your camera.
2. Check to see if the light indicator next to the memory card slot of your CFexpress Type B or microSD card is turned on.
If the light indicator is turned on, then it indicates that the memory card is currently being accessed. In this case, we recommend waiting until the light turns off before continuing; otherwise, you will risk damaging the memory card and camera.
3. Once you no longer see the light next to the memory card slot turned on, we recommend waiting for several minutes if you were using the camera beforehand. This is because the memory card may still be hot.
Fortunately, the LUMIX GH6 will display a high temperature caution message on its screen. Once this message disappears, you should be able to safely proceed without causing any potential injury.
4. To remove the memory card, press down on it until you hear a click.
5. Let go once you hear a click and the memory card should pop out of the memory card slot.
6. Slide the card out to remove your CFexpress Type B or microSD card from the camera.
7. Close the card door after you remove the memory card.
