So the solution is already there. If you make low level format for the cards and always delete the last pictures in the camera when reinserting the card, problems that come from the card seem to be gone. But unfortunately these are not all the problems. For example, the message I often have that the battery is empty, although it works again after taking it out and putting it back in. "But keep in mind that formatting in the camera is always only a quick format." really? if it takes more than 5-6 secs its a normal format, a quick format is almost instant. i don't think its a good idea to "low level format" a card or flash drive or SSD.. it should be a normal format NOT a quick format and ideally NOT a low level format. Normal format: All sectors in a volume get written to with new data, as all sectors get written to, including previously undiscovered bad ones, these will get marked bad and will be remapped to spare sectors. Quick format: The volume simply gets marked empty. i think its best to format the sd in the camera you use it in.

I use this tool "SD Card Formatter" and it takes almost an hour for 256 GB. Don't think that the CPU in a camera can do that in 5-6 seconds. So it is 100% a quick format and after the Camera create a folder DIM and the folder for the files analogous to the setting that was previously made on the camera.
