ªUsing a Card in a Personal Computer

To erase pictures that you recorded on the Card by using the SD Multi AV Device, be sure to erase them on the SD Multi AV Device, not on the computer.

You may not be able to properly play back on the SD Multi AV Device after editing the recorded data or changing the image data on a personal computer.

The image data files recorded on the Card with this SD Multi AV Device conform to the DCF (Design Rules for Camera Files Systems) universal standard stipulated by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).

Moving Picture format (MPEG4) that can be played back on this device is ASF. (Depending on the file, it may not be able to be played back even if it is in ASF format.)

Constructing a Folder when the Card is used with a PC

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.([100-0001] or similar indication is

 

displayed on the SD Multi AV Device.)

[Misc]:

Files in which DPOF Data has been set to

 

the image are in this.

[SD_VC100]

Folder in which the voice data (e.g.,

 

MOB001.VM1) files are stored.

[SD_AUDIO]

Folder in which the music data (e.g.,

 

AOB001.SA1) files recorded by the

 

Panasonic Media Manager (supplied

 

accessory) are stored.

[PRL001]:

MPEG4 moving picture is recorded in

 

ASF format (MOL001.ASF etc.). It can be

 

played back with Windows Media Player

 

(ver.6.4 and later). Because of small size,

 

this File is well suited for transmitting data

 

through a telephone line etc.

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

The SD Multi AV Device automatically saves file numbers (imga0001.jpg, etc.) along with the images. The file numbers are recorded with each image as a consecutive number.

The memory capacity indicated on the SD Card label corresponds to the total amount of the capacity to protect and manage the copyright and of the capacity available as a conventional memory for a SD Multi AV Device, Personal Computer or others. Capacity that can be used as conventional memory:

64MB Card: about 63,570,000 bytes

The [SD_VOICE] folder, the voice files contained in it, and [SD_AUDIO] folder are specified to the hidden files. Those folders and files may not be displayed on the Explore and My Computer screen depending on the

setting of your PC.

Do not delete any folders located on the Card. If this is done, the Card may not be recognized on your SD Multi AV Device.

The MPEG 4 moving picture file (ASF format) can be played on the Windows® Media Player (Ver. 6.4 or later). If it cannot be played back, download the appropriate software (G.726). The Windows® Media Player contains the auto-downloading feature of this software. Log on the Internet and double-click the MPEG 4 moving picture file. The software will be downloaded automatically.(To play back a file on Mac OS®, Windows Media Player for

Macintosh® is required.)

When formatting a Card, format it on the SD Multi AV Device or on Panasonic Media Manager.

When a moving picture is played back on a personal computer, a black belt may be present along the top and bottom of the picture.

If data not supported by the SD Multi AV Device is recorded on a personal computer, it cannot be recognized by the SD Multi AV Device.
