Hello everyone,
In my testing of my new Zoom H5, I foolishly did not test the standalone
recording capabilities, which require a working SD card.
I tried using the included SD card. When I tried to format it, I got an
error. When I tried the quick performance test, it alternately gave me NG,
and just froze part of the way through.
I have like one day left to return this to Amazon India. Should I do so or
not. I just checked my account and it says returnable till July 7th. It's
now the morning of the 6th (local time is IST = UTC+5.30). So I don't have
a lot of time to think about it.
Even assuming it is a corrupt SD card, should the Zoom freeze like that?
And if it is not corrupt, something is clearly wrong. I don't have any
other way to test the SD card. Should I buy another SD card and try it
with that. As you can see, I don't have much time.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Please CC me on any reply.
Regards, Faheem Mitha

How did you try to format it? Some devices are not happy about cards
formatted other than with the device itself.

I tried using the H5's own formatting function, of course.

That probably is the right to return it for no reason. If something
should be broken, you much likely could return it still after the
deadline. At least manufacturer's warranty should be provided and in
most countries there much likely are warranty claim laws, too.
