Direct answer
Yes, this camera can use UHS‑II SD cards.
How to tell if a card is UHS‑II (steps)
- Look at the card: UHS‑II cards have a second row of pins on the back.
- On the label, you’ll often see higher video speed classes like V60 or V90 (not required, but common).
- Buy from a reputable seller, counterfeit SD cards are common.
How to decide what to buy
- If you shoot demanding video modes or sustained bursts, UHS‑II can reduce buffer pressure and improve reliability.
- If you mostly shoot casual photo/video, a good UHS‑I U3/V30 card is usually enough.
What to do after you buy it
- Insert the card and format it in-camera (MENU → Setup/wrench → Format card).
- Run a short stress test in your highest-bitrate mode (record a few minutes, then play it back).
