Help. Why does my camera say busy after I take a pic? Also Red assist light issue

[platinummack]

Hi I have a canon eos m10 and I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off the red flash light that comes on when I click the button to take a picture. Actually it does this in creative assist mode when I put it in hybrid mode the light goes away. Could that be the reason? Also there's no menu option to remove this list as I've seen other cameras have. Also when I take a pic, it says busy after each other shot? How do you remove that message?

Thanks

Long exposure noise reduction turned on?

That is processing the image and writing to the card. If it is taking a long amount of time, you might have some issues. Have you formatted the card lately?

[platinummack]

huh?I don't think so but where would I find out if that's on?

Like what menu option?

Thanks

I don't think I've formatted the sd card?

Do you do that first?

It's been recording pics and videos brilliantly so far?

SO not sure what the formattting would do?

Anyways if I need to format it, what do I need to do?

Someone said it could be a slow sd card , is this possible?

All memory cards should formatted in the camera prior to first use. Only use full size memory cards. Do not use the card in the camera to store photos and videos

Make sure you buy the right type of card. Stick to major brand names, and avoid buying them on Amazon

What do you mean do not use them to store photos and videos

I don't get it?

Then how would I use my camera if I don't have a SD card(Mine is a major brand one btw Sandisk)

Do you mean to take pics/videos on the card but then immediatley transfer it and empty it?

Thanks

Yes. Copy the photos and videos out of the camera. Reformat the card from time to time using the camera.

If you do a lot of saving and deleting to the card it can become fragmented - lots of little chunks of storage all over the card rather than huge blocks of free space. It takes longer to write to the card when it is filling up all those little chunks.

Formatting removes all the chunks and gives you a huge swath of free space.

So basically I am a vlogger, record mainly videos and then upload them to my post production software for cuts and then shar ethem to my social channels. I then delete them from the card asap

But are you saying that after that I should reformat the card again?

IF so, can I do this within the canon eos m10 or should I do it usingmy desktop?

Thanks again
