Do not modify the name of a video fi le recorded by the camcorder. For proper playback, the
camcorder requires that fi les have their original folder and fi le names.
Video fi le (H.264)
➀
HD-quality videos have an HDV_####.MP4 name format.
SD-quality videos have a SDV_####.MP4 name format.
The fi le number used in the fi le name automatically increases
when you create a new video fi le.
A new folder is created when the fi le number has reached
999~1,000.
The folder names are given in the following order:
100VIDEO, 101VIDEO, etc. The maximum number of folders

automatically increases when you create a new photo fi le.
