Mount a Fujifilm formatted SD Card on macOS 14.2 Sonoma
Raw
fujifilm-sdcard-macos.md

Background

When you format your SDCard using your Fujifilm camera, it uses NTFS. Sometimes macOS can automatically mount the SDCard when inserted, but sometimes it doesn't.

This has been tested using the following devices:

  1. Fujifilm X-T3 on Ver.5.10 firmware
  2. macOS 14.2.1 Sonoma on M2 Max Macbook Pro
  3. SanDisk Extreme Pro 64GB

How to mount

Make sure your SDCard is formatted in the camera via User Settings > Format > Slot

Get your disk id

$ diskutil list
...
/dev/disk5 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *63.9 GB    disk5
   1:               Windows_NTFS                         63.8 GB    disk5s1

Mount the disk (yes, -t exfat is not a typo 🤷)

$ sudo mkdir /Volumes/sdcard
$ sudo mount -t exfat -o ro /dev/disk5s1 /Volumes/sdcard

Unmount the disk when done

$ sudo umount /Volumes/sdcard
