Video fi le (H.264) ➀
The HD-quality (1920x1080 30p, 1280x720 60p, or 1280x720
30p) videos have an HDV_####.MP4 format.
The SD-quality videos have an SDV_####.MP4 format.
The fi le number automatically increases when a new video fi le is
created.
Up to 9,999 fi les can be stored in one folder. A new folder is

Photo fi le ➁
As with video fi les, the fi le number automatically increases when
a new photo fi le is created.

fi les. The photos have an SAM_####.JPG format.

When the 9,999th fi le is created in the 999th folder (i.e. HDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999th
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.
The name of a video fi le recorded by the camcorder should not be modifi ed, since proper playback
by the camcorder requires the original folder and fi le naming convention. •
