SP should support exFAT for the card but Android itself has FAT32 file format.

Then is there a way to have files bigger than 4GB??I heard that if i root my phone, i can use exfat format for my card.

You could try to format to exFAT using a computer,if it does not work,simply reformat to FAT32.

That is what I did. I have formated with my Pc and insert it into my phone. I have also copied a movie but my phone didn't recognize the card.

In this case,it might not support exFAT.Check XDA for more info on rooting if you want to do it.

Augustin,use a low level format tool to format your microSD.

Unfortunatley the Xperia SP does not support the exfat format sorry. Only the Xperia Z2 Tablet, Z2 handset, Z1, Z Ultra, Z1 Compact and Tablet Z support this format.
