I am going to Kenya on a bird photography trip in Nov so need some extra XQD Cards. I am only taking the more compact D500 as I do not need the bag full of large lenses with my D850.

New Sony XQD 64 GB card arrived yesterday. Put it in the D500 formatted it and it showed 679 NEF available the same reading as with my XQD 32 GB cards. Put the same new 64 GB card in the D850 and at once it showed twice as much space as XQD 32 GB card ie 1.2K. Back with the D500 formatted the new card and tried again no luck.

I checked firmware and saw it was still C1.13 so with a bit of phone help from Eric (Thanks!!) it is now C1.2. Put new card in D500 formatted it again and still reading 679!!!

Took out the 32 GB SD card now getting correct 1.2K images available on new card. So the firmware up date worked but camera was only reading the B/U avaiable on the SD card. I now changed the SD to overflow and now all is good and new card reads correctly on the D500 as well.
