Files recorded on a SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard

It may not be possible to play back the files on this Palmcorder recorded on and created by other equipment or vice versa. For this reason, check the compatibility of the equipment in advance.

ªAbout the compatibility of the card files

Data files recorded on “SD Memory Card”s or “MultiMediaCard”s by this Palmcorder conform with DCF (Design Rules for Camera Files Systems universal standard) established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

≥If you attempt to play back files recorded with this Palmcorder in other equipment or to play back files recorded with other equipment in this Palmcorder, you may not be able to play them back. Please check the compatibility with other equipment in advance.

ªAbout the folder structure when using the

Memory Card in a personal computer

≥When a Card with data recorded on it is inserted into a personal computer, folders will be displayed as in the figure below.

[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.
[TITLE]:	This contains the data of the original titles
	(Usr00001.jpg, Usr00001.ttl, etc.).
[PRL001]:	MPEG4 moving picture is recorded in ASF
	format (MOL00001.ASF etc.). It can be
	played back with Windows Media Player
	(ver.6.4 and later). Because of their small
	size, these files are well suited for
	transmitting data through a telephone lines
	etc.. To play back moving picture with
	Windows Media Player, select a file and
	double click. Necessary software is
	automatically downloaded and starts playing
	back. (Internet connection is required).

≥[DCIM], [IM01CDPF], [PRIVATE], [VTF], [SD_VIDEO], [SD_VOICE] etc. are necessary items in the folder structure. They have nothing to do with actual operations.

≥In the Card Mode, the Palmcorder automatically saves file numbers (Imga0001.jpg, etc.) along with the images. The file numbers are recorded with each image as consecutive numbers.

≥In the [SD_VC100] folder, the Voice data (Mob001.vml

etc.) is recorded. It, however, cannot be played back on a Personal Computer.

≥The [SD_VOICE] folder and the Voice files in the folder are set as hidden. Depending on the settings of your personal computer, this hidden folder and these hidden files might not appear in Windows Explorer or the “My Computer” screen.

≥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 a conventional memory for a Palmcorder, Personal Computer or others. Capacity that can be used as conventional memory:
