How to handle data recorded on SD Memory Card
Data recorded in AVCHD format offers excellent
compatibility with computers due to the file type,
but since this format includes not only video
and audio data, but also a variety of important
information, the folder structure will consist of file
associations as illustrated in the diagram on the
right. If even part of this information is modified
or deleted, the data may no longer be recognized
as AVCHD data, or the memory card may not
longer be able to be used with AVCHD devices.
Concerning the handling of the camera’s metadata
A special manufacturer area in the control file area under the AVCHD standard is employed for the
metadata which is supported by this camera.
If files are deleted or copied, if clip protection is added or removed or if other such editing operations
have been performed using editing software or a camera recorder which does not support this
camera’s metadata, the special area for the metadata will be erased, and the shot marks added
by the camera as well as the PH mode information and other information will be lost. Therefore,
before proceeding with these kinds of editing operations, check whether the camera’s metadata is
supported.
