• Up to 9,999 fi les can be created in one folder. A new folder is created when more than 9,999 fi les
are created.
• When the 9,999th fi le is created in the 999th folder (i.e. SDV_9,999.MP4 is created in the 999
VIDEO folder), no more folders can be created. Backup your fi les to a PC and format the storage
media, and then reset the fi le numbering from the menu.
• The name of a movie fi le recorded by the camcorder should not be modifi ed, since proper
playback by the camcorder requires original folder and fi le naming convention.
