• Avoid the following operations using the PC. - Deleting files or folders in the USB external
hard disk drive.
- Moving files or folders in the USB external hard disk drive.
- Changing the name of files or folders in the USB external hard disk drive.
These operations make the data impossible to be played back on the camera.
