•Refer to page 61 for the video resolution.

Photo files

•Photo images are compressed in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is “.JPG.”

•Refer to page 62 for the photo resolution.

• When the 999th file is created in the 999th folder (i.e. HDV_999.MP4 is created in the 999th VIDEO folder) in a memory card, no more folders can be created. Backup your files to a PC and format the storage media, then reset the file numbering by setting “File No.” to “Reset.”
