About the compatibility of the card files

Data files recorded on an “SD Memory Card” or a “MultiMediaCard” by this Camcorder conform with DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

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

About 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.

[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.

[TITLE]:

This contains the data of the original titles (USR00001.TTL, etc.).

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

In the 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.

When using software without an indication function, indication data, such as date, are not displayed. Depending on the software in use, the date and the time may not be displayed correctly.

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 Camcorder, Personal Computer or others. Capacity that can be used as conventional memory:

8 MB Card: about 6,800,000 bytes
