File Storage
The camera features 64 GB built-in storage (47 GB available storage), and users can also choose to insert a microSD card. To ensure smooth shooting, X6 requires a microSD/TF card that complies with the UHS-I standard (V30 speed class or above), and is formatted as exFAT. Otherwise, recording may be interrupted or files may be corrupted due to insufficient card speed.

External Devices
X6 supports a variety of accessories to meet unique shooting needs across different scenarios.
- Removable USB Cover: The USB cover is hot-swappable. Open the cover, then pull it directly and firmly outward to detach it.
- Accessory Installation: Once the USB cover is removed, official accessories such as the Charge Audio Adapter and Quick Reader can be installed.
- When you have finished using the camera or are using the camera on its own, ensure that the cover is tightly closed and the orange indication mark is completely hidden, so as not to compromise its waterproofing performance.
