Addendum: After posting the last message, I reviewed the video link which I
had posted regarding saving of stimulus frequency range. Then I saw that on
recall, I have to press on the number displayed in the corner of the grey
screen, which I had done unknowingly, to get the frequency range displayed.
Went back and did the same thing for the screenshot - Clicked on 8.bmp with
the guitar pick which came along with the NanoVNA. To my pleasant surprise,
the grey screen disappeared and the saved screenshot was displayed!

I am using a 32GB micro SD card in my NanoVNA-H v3.6. I use it mainly to
save calibration (). I did not do any
formatting, just inserted a new card and started saving calibration. So far
I have saved about 7 sets and recalled them multiple times later.
After reading your post, I tried to save a screenshot. It showed as saved.
But when I tried to recall it, the recalled screen is just a grey screen
with only the saved number (8.bmp) at one corner!

I recently bought an H4 v4.3. Was looking forward to being able to save
plots from the nanoVNA to a micro SD card. But every attempt resulted in
"fail write" message. I read that it cannot handle some big fast modern
cards. Tried an 8GB card. No Go. Tried an old 1GB card, formatted
FAT32. The nanoVNA managed to save a calibration, but screenshots
"fail".
Each failed screenshot save resulted (as seen from Windows) in a file
written by the chosen name - but with zero size. Tried a brand new 2GB
card, no go. Read somewhere advice to format the card using the official
SD-formatter program from the SD conglomerate. I have a very old version
of that on my Windows XP PC. Tried that. It formatted it FAT (not
FAT32). The nanoVNA accepted that and successfully wrote a BMP
screenshot
file. That's been my experience. YMMV.
