1.2 If the ONE X still fails to enter U Disk mode, please use another USB cable; if it still is not working, please try a different USB port on the computer or try a USB hub.

2. . If the above suggestions still do not enter U Disk mode or your computer still can’t read it, please refer to the Camera Firmware Update Tutorial to update to the newest firmware.
3. If the newest firmware does not solve the issue, please test it with another computer if possible. If the other computer works, it means there may be a compatibility issue with the first computer.
