Structure of folders and files on the storage media
• The folder and file structure for storage media is as follows:
• File naming follows DCF (Design rule for Camera File System) rules.
Video file (H.264)
• The HD-quality video files have an HDV_####.
MP4 format.
• The SD-quality video files have an SDV_####.
MP4 format.
• The file number automatically increases when
a new video file is created.
• Up to 999 files can be stored in one folder.
The camcorder creates a new folder when
the number of files in a folder exceeds ‘999.’
Photo file
• As with video files, the file number
automatically increases when a new photo file
is created.
• Photo files have a SAM_####.JPG format.
The first file is named SAM_0001.JPG.
• The folder names increase in this order:
100PHOTO 101PHOTO, etc.
• Up to 999 files can be store in one folder. The
camcorder creates a new folder when the
number of files in a folder exceeds ‘999.’
File format
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 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.”
• Do not modify the name of a movie file recorded by the camcorder. Proper playback by the
camcorder requires the original folder and file name.
