The Canon PowerShot V1 is a 22.3MP video-first compact camera with a large 1.4" sensor. It features a single memory card slot that supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II / UHS-I) memory cards.
We recommend using SDXC UHS-II memory cards in the Powershot V1 to avoid video files being split into 4GB chunks. SDXC cards support capacities of between 64GB-2TB whereas SDHC cards support smaller capacities of between 4-32GB.

FAQs
How many images can be stored on a 64GB card?
The number of images that can be stored on a 64GB memory card with the PowerShot V1 varies based on the image type that you are recording in. The following values are approximate because file size varies with the scene being shot:
- JPEG L: 7940
- JPEG M: 14080
- HEIF L: 8220
- HEIF M: 12840
- RAW: 2580
- CRAW: 5240
How many minutes of video can be recorded on a 64GB card?
When recording in 4k cropped at 230Mbps you can record approximately 25 minutes of video with a 64GB card. 4k at 170Mbps is around 50 minutes.
Is a V90 rated UHS-II SDXC card required for video?
No. A V60 rated UHS-II memory card will allow you to record in all the video formats supported by the PowerShot V1.
What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards?
UHS-II offers much faster speeds (up to 312 MB/s) compared to UHS-I (up to 104 MB/s). This is possible via a second row of pins and two data lanes for simultaneous upstream and downstream data transfer. The extra row of pins are visible on the back of UHS-II cards. Both card types are backward compatible, but a UHS-II card will only operate at UHS-I speeds in a camera that only supports UHS-I cards.
What is the difference between SDHC and SDXC memory cards?
SDHC cards are formatted using the FAT32 file system, so when recording proxy clips, the video (stream) file in the clip will be split approximately every 4 GB. Playback with the camera will be seamless. SDXC cards use the exFAT file system so the stream file in the clip will not be split. SDHC cards support capacities of between 4-32GB and SDXC cards support 64GB-2TB.
Are CFexpress Type B cards supported?
No. The Canon PowerShot V1 only supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I / UHS-II) memory cards, CFexpress Type B cards will not physically fit the camera.
