Hi. Yes you must format on the recorder.

 

If you think of formatting as telling your recorder what to do with it’s data

oh, thanks,

so when i format it in the options. Its going to work ?

thank you

Maybe you need to carefully read the instruction.Usually camera automatically recorded by default, but there are exceptions.Then choose the record button,if it work,it will have the video.Hope it is useful to you!
