107
[MP4 Clip / Photo Numbering]: Clips and photos are saved as files in folders. You can select the file
numbering method for those files. File numbers appear on screens in playback mode in a format such
as "101-0107". The first 3 digits indicate the folder number and the last 4 digits are different for each
file in a folder.
[m Reset]: File numbers will restart from 100-0001 every time you insert a new (or initialized) SD
card. If the card already contains previous recordings, file numbers will continue from the number
following that of the last recording on the SD card.
[n Continuous]: File numbers will continue from the number following that of the last file recorded
with the camcorder. This setting is the most convenient for managing files on a computer. We
recommend using the [n Continuous] setting.
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.
• Each folder can contain up to 500 files (clips and photos combined). When that number is
exceeded, a new folder is created automatically.
Understanding file numbers
• An example file number is “101-0107”. The first 3 digits indicate the folder number where the clip/
photo is stored 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, a clip
numbered 101-0107 that was recorded on October 25, is located in the “DCIM\101_1025” folder
as the file “MVI_0107.MP4”; a photo with the same file number will be saved in the same folder as
the file “IMG_0107.JPG”.
