Video files

•Video files are compressed in H.264 format. The file extension is “.MP4.”

•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 999 VIDEO folder), a new folder cannot be created anymore. Set “File No.” to “Reset” at this time.

• The name of a movie file recorded by the camcorder should not be modified, since proper

130playback by the camcorder requires original folder and file naming convention.
