Recorded Clips

This camera recorder uses FAT32 File System.

As such, recorded materials may be split into several files due to the file size. However, they can be played back continuously on the camera recorder. Clips may be recorded across both SDHC cards in card slot A and B depending on the recording time of the clip.

When copying clips to a HDD using a PC, it is recommended to use [JVC Clip Manager Software], which is found in the bundled CD-ROM, to maintain continuity.

Note :

●When copying via Explorer (Windows environment) or Finder (Mac environment), the continuity and relativity of the recorded material may not be maintained.

Note :

●A clip recorded across several cards cannot be played back continuously. Continuous playback is only possible when the recording is made on one card.
