How to update Zoom R8 firmware

Step 12. Put the SD card back in the R8

Self-explanatory.

Step 13. Power on the R8

Your R8 should now be exactly the way that it was with all your project files ready-to-use.

"Is this process the same for replacing the SD memory card in my R8?"

Yes.

If the SD memory card in your R8 is over 3 years old or you just want to bump up to something with more memory capacity, this is how you go about it:

Get a new memory card. The R8 supports up to 32GB. Anything bigger than that won't work. You can use SD or a microSD within an SD adapter. You do not need "ultra high speed" or "extreme" cards because this is only audio and not video files. A 5-pack of 32GB cards will ensure that you don't have to buy more cards for a good long time.

Put a new card into the R8 and format it using the R8 directly.

After that, follow steps 1, 11 and 12. That's it. The only difference is that instead of copying your project files to your old card, copy them to the new one, put in the R8, boot, done.
