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.•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.’

•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
130camcorder requires the original folder and file name.
