Setting the card ID

When data is written to a setup card, it is useful to set an ID for the card to identify it.

When data is saved to a card, a card ID is written to the card together with the data. When data is read from a card, the card ID is also read, and that ID overwrites the card ID associated with the data that was previously in the camcorder.
