Structure of folders and fi les on the storage media
The folder and fi le structure for storage media is as follows.
Don’t arbitrarily change or remove the folder or fi le name. It may not be playable.
Image format
Videos
Videos are compressed in H.264 format. The fi le extension is ".MP4."
Refer to page 43 for video resolution.
Photos
Photos are compressed in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The fi le extension is ".JPG."
Refer to page 44 for photo resolution.
When the 9,999th fi le is created in the 999th folder (i.e. HDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999 VIDEO folder), no more folders can be created.
Backup your fi les to a PC and format the storage media, then reset the fi le numbering from the menu.
We don't recommend you modify the name of a fi le/folder stored in the storage media using a PC.
If you modify it, this camcorder may not recognise the modifi ed fi les.
This camcorder is an NTSC-system-based camcorder for video encoding. But actual output depends upon user setting.
