## 11.1 Sony ILX-LR1 Camera

The camera uses **SD, SDHC, SDXC memory cards with UHS-II support**. microSD cards can be used only with an adapter.

Card removal procedure:

1. Turn off the drone and make sure that the camera power is off.
2. Open the memory card compartment cover by sliding the latch.
3. Make sure that the access lamp is off, press the card lightly and remove it.

Insert the card with the cut corner in the direction indicated on the camera until it clicks, then close the cover.

The images are located in the DCIM folder on the memory card.

## 11.2 TOPODRONE LR1 Control Module

The module records GNSS measurements to a **microSD memory card of up to 32 GB**.

> **Warning:** Remove and insert the microSD card only with the power off, after the device has shut down.

For processing, copy the images from the camera card and the GNSS measurement files from the LR1 Control Module card to a computer (data structuring procedure - [chapter 14.1](https://topodrone.com/knowledge/topodrone-sony-ilx-lr1/data-processing-toposetter-and-topomapper/)).
