That Unmount function is used when the camera is to be shut down for maintenance or when the

mass storage has to be physically removed for some reason. The purpose of unmounting is to

protect the currently processed data on mass storage at the moment of removal of the storage. If

the local storage is being used by camera and some videos or snapshots are being recorded to

the disk, then the sudden shutdown or removal of the disk without unmounting may corrupt the

file that currently being used by the camera. The rest of the files are not influenced in any way.

Please note that

“Save&Reboot” function of the camera also does unmounting automatically for

the user.
