The ZR-1 Portable recorder requires an SDXC card or a MicroSDXC/microSDHC in FAT32 format.
SD card Formatting Windows only allows partitions up to 32GB to be formatted as FAT32.
This guide provides instructions on how to format the SD card for FAT32 in Windows.

Instructions

To format a 64GB partition as FAT32 you need to use a third-party formatting tool.
A simple tool to do this is FAT32 Format which downloads as a single file named guiformat.exe – no installation is necessary.
