Structure of folders and fi les on the storage media
•
The folder and fi le structure for storage media is as follows.
•
Don't arbitrarily change or remove the folder or fi le name. It may not be playable.
Videos (H.264) ❶
•
The HD-quality (1920x1080 30p, 1280x720 60p, or 1280x720 30p) videos have
HDV_####.MP4 format.
•
The SD-quality videos have SDV_####.MP4 format.
•
The HD and SD quality videos will be named as HDE_####.MP4 and
SDE_####.MP4 respectively when you edit videos using the PC software.
•
The fi le number automatically increases when a new video fi le is created.
•
Up to 9,999 fi les can be created in one folder. A new folder is created when more than
9,999 fi les are created.
photos ❷
•
As with video fi les, the fi le number automatically increases when a new photo fi le is
created.
•
The maximum fi le number allowed is the same as in video fi les.
A new folder stores fi les starting with SAM_0001.JPG.
•
The folder name increases in the order of 100PHOTO 101PHOTO etc.
•
Up to 9,999 fi les can be created in one folder. A new folder is created when more than 9,999 fi les are created.
Image format
Videos
•
Videos are compressed in H.264 format. The fi le extension is ".MP4."
•
Refer to page 43 for video resolution.
photos
•
Photos are compressed in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The fi le extension is ".JPG."
•
Refer to page 44 for photo resolution.
•
When the 9,999th fi le is created in the 999th folder (i.e. HDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999 VIDEO folder), no more folders can be created.
Backup your fi les to a PC and format the storage media, then reset the fi le numbering from the menu.
•
We don't recommend you modify the name of a fi le/folder stored in the storage media using a PC.
If you modify it, this camcorder may not recognise the modifi ed fi les.
•
This camcorder is an NTSC-system-based camcorder for video encoding. But actual output depends upon user setting. ➥page 43
