Memo

By formatting (initializing) the SD card from the [Format Media] menu on the camera recorder, folders required for recording in the current [System] settings will be generated.

When the [System] settings and [QuickTime(MPEG2)] settings are changed, folders required for recording in those settings will be automatically generated.

Caution

When a clip inside the folder is moved or deleted using the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac), recording to the SD card may fail if formatting (initializing) of the card is not performed.

Clip (Recorded Data) and Clip Name

When recording is stopped, the images, audio and accompanying data which are recorded from start to stop are recorded as one “clip” on the SD card.

An 8-character clip name is automatically generated for the recorded clip.
(“Clip Name Prefix” + “Clip Number”)

When [Main Menu] arrowR [System] arrowR [Record Set] arrowR [Record Format] arrowR [Format] is set to “AVCHD”, the clip name generated consists of only the Clip Number (5-digit number).

Recorded Clips

The recorded materials may be split into several files but they can be played back continuously on the camera recorder.

Clips may be recorded across the two SD cards in card slots A and B depending on the recording time of the clip.

Caution

A clip recorded across several cards cannot be played back continuously. Continuous playback is only possible when the recording is made on one card.
