Hi Guy.

I read that in the manual but it does not say anything about a flashing red SD card indicator.

I guess they assume people have seen other cameras.

All I've seen have either a flashing LED or that flashing screen icon while recording to card.

The Olympus manuals also don't mention flashing when they talk about their card icon.

The real answer is that if anything were to be wrong with the card then you get some sort of text message, in the G7 manual p373 I see a mess of messages that could occur if the card actually had a fault.

Yes, when recording or clearing their buffer from a burst shot and often art mode shots, all cameras seem to flash. My Sony has a flashing LED at the back of its grip, while M4/3 cameras are as you describe.
