How to handle data recorded on SD Memory Card
Data recorded in AVCHD format offers excellent
compatibility with computers due to the file type,
but since this format includes not only video
and audio data, but also a variety of important
information, the folder structure will consist of file
associations as illustrated in the diagram on the
right. If even part of this information is modified or
deleted, the data may no longer be recognized as
AVCHD data, or the memory card may not longer
be able to be used with AVCHD devices.
To prevent the loss of information when copying
data from the SD Memory Card to a computer,
or when copying data stored on a computer
back onto the SD Memory Card, be sure to use
the AVCCAM Viewer specialist software, which
can be downloaded from the following website.

Concerning the handling of the camera’s metadata
A special manufacturer area in the control file area under the AVCHD standard is employed for the
metadata which is supported by this camera.
If files are deleted or copied, if clip protection is added or removed or if other such editing operations
have been performed using editing software or a camera recorder which does not support this camera’s
metadata, the special area for the metadata will be erased, and the shot marks and indexes added by
the camera as well as the PH mode information and other information will be lost. Therefore, before
proceeding with these kinds of editing operations, check whether the camera’s metadata is supported.
