DCIM

100CDPFP

MISC

[100CDPFP]: The images (IMGA0001.JPG, etc.) in this folder are recorded in the JPEG format.

[MISC]: Files in which DPOF Data has been set to the image are in this folder.

[DCIM] etc. are necessary items in the folder structure. They have nothing to do with actual operation.

In Card Mode, the Camcorder automatically saves file numbers (IMGA0001.JPG, etc.) along

with the images. The file numbers are recorded with each image as consecutive numbers.

The memory capacity indicated on the SD Card label corresponds to the total card capacity. Some of this capacity is used to protect and manage the copyright data, and not all capacity is available as conventional memory for a Camcorder, personal computer or others.
