ª About the SD Memory Card and
MultiMediaCard
SD Memory Card

a MultiMediaCard. It is an external memory card that is
available in larger capacities. It has a write protect switch to
prevent data writing and card formatting, as well as a
copyright protection function.
≥SD Logo is a trademark.
MultiMediaCard
The MultiMediaCard is a compact, lightweight and
removable external memory card.
≥All other company and product names in the operating
instructions are trademarks or registered trademarks of
their respective corporations.
Files recorded on a SD Memory Card or MultiMediaCard
It may not be possible to play back the files on this
Palmcorder recorded on and created by other equipment or
vice versa. For this reason, check the compatibility of the
equipment in advance.
ª About the compatibility of the card files
Data files recorded on an "SD Memory Card" or a
"MultiMediaCard" by this Palmcorder conform with DCF
(Design Rules for Camera Files Systems universal standard)
established by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association).
≥If you attempt to play back files recorded with this
Palmcorder in other equipment or to play back files
recorded with other equipment in this Palmcorder, you may
not be able to play them back. Please check the
compatibility with the other equipment in advance.
ª About the folder structure when using the
Memory Card in a personal computer
≥When a Card with data recorded on it is inserted into a
personal computer, folders will be displayed as in the
figure.
16
[100CDPFP]: The images (Imga0001.jpg, etc.) in this
folder are recorded in the JPEG format.
[MISC]: Files in which DPOF Data has been set to
the image are in this.
[TITLE]: This contains the data of the original titles
(Usr00001.ttl, etc.).
[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 their small size, these
files are well suited for transmitting data
through telephone lines etc.. To play back a
moving picture with Windows Media Player,
select a file and double click. Necessary
software is automatically downloaded and
starts playing back. (Internet connection is
required).
≥[DCIM], [IM01CDPF], [PRIVATE], [VTF], [SD_VIDEO],
[SD_VOICE] etc. are necessary items in the folder
structure. They have nothing to do with actual operations.
≥In the Card Mode, the Palmcorder automatically saves file
numbers (Imga0001.jpg, etc.) along with the images. The
file numbers are recorded with each image as consecutive
numbers.
≥In the [SD_VC100] folder, the Voice data (MOB001.vm1
etc.) is recorded. It, however, cannot be played back on a
Personal Computer.
≥The [SD_VOICE] folder and the Voice files in the folder are
set as hidden. Depending on the settings of your personal
computer, this hidden folder and these hidden files might
not appear in Windows Explorer or the "My Computer"
screen.
≥The memory capacity indicated on the SD Card label
corresponds to the total card capacity. Some of this
capacity is used to protect and manage the copyright data,
and not all capacity is available as a conventional memory
for a Palmcorder, Personal Computer or others.
Capacity that can be used as conventional memory:
16 MB Card: about 14,900,000 bytes
