Selecting the File Numbering Method
MP4 clips and photos are automatically assigned consecutive numbers
and stored on the SD card in folders. You can select the file numbering
method to be used. We recommend using the [Continuous] setting.
1 Open the [File Numbering] submenu.
[w Other Functions] > [File Numbering]
2 Select the desired option and then press the joystick.

NOTES
Each folder can contain up to 500 recordings. When that number is exceeded, a new folder is created
automatically.
If you select [Continuous], you can reset the file numbering using the [w Other Functions] > [Reset] > [All
Settings] setting. However, this will also reset all of the camcorder's settings.
Operating modes:
[Reset]: File numbers will restart from 100-0001 every time you insert a new SD card. If an SD card already
contains previous recordings, file numbers will continue from the number following that of the last file on
the SD card.
[Continuous]: File numbers will continue from the number following that of the last MP4 clip or photo recorded with the
camcorder. This setting is the most convenient for managing files on a computer.

Understanding folder names
An example folder name is "101_1025". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number (from 100 to 999) and
the last 4 digits indicate the month and day when the folder was created. In the example, the folder
numbered 101 was created on October 25.
Understanding file numbers
An example file number is "101-0107". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number the recording is stored in
and the last 4 digits indicate the consecutive number assigned to the recording (from 0001 to 9999).
The file number also indicates the name and location of the file on the SD card. For example, an MP4 clip/
photo numbered 101-0107 that was recorded on October 25, is located in the “DCIM\101_1025” folder as
the file “MVI_0107.MP4” or “IMG_0107.JPG”.
