First, check to see how much data will be recorded, then check to see which modules are mounted in the Mark5, then choose one that is big enough. Here's how to do it: | First, check to see how much data will be recorded, then check to see which modules are mounted in the Mark5, then choose one that is big enough. Here's how to do it: | ||
