divided into files smaller than 2 GB.
They will be saved as separate scenes
when transferred to a computer.

24-hour format) of the original
recordings. For example, the file name
of a recording made around 9 p.m. on
October 25 will be:

20071025212030.m
YYYYMMDDhhmmss

• Unless you select a different folder in
step 2, scenes will be saved in folders
that reflect the date of recording under
the My Videos folder in the My
Documents folder.
The exact path is different for each
system but a typical path for the scene
on the previous example would be:
C:\Documents and Settings\
[User name]\My Documents\
My Videos\20071025

Transferring Movies Back to the

WHEN TRANSFERRING MOVIES WITH LARGE

FILE SIZES

performing the following steps.

1 Click in the main menu.

2 Click in the folder

configuration screen.

The folder selection screen appears.

• Do not disconnect the camcorder’s
power source or USB cable while
transferring movies back. Doing so may
result in damage to the camcorder’s
hard disk. Insert a fully charged battery
pack into the camcorder in advance
and use the compact power adapter.
Do not allow the USB cable to be
inadvertently disconnected.

• Movies transferred to this camcorder
will not play back properly if they
contain scenes that were recorded with
another camcorder or recorded in
another video specification/television
system.

• When transferring movies back to the
camcorder, the computer requires
available hard disk space the same size
as the file sizes of the movies to be
transferred.

• If the sum of the number of scenes in
the camcorder and the number of
scenes to be transferred is about 1,000
scenes, scenes may not be transferred
back.

• We recommend transferring back fewer
than 100 scenes at a time.

has sufficient available hard disk
space and click [OK].

4 Click [OK] in the folder

configuration screen.

playback cannot be guaranteed.

• Make sure to back up all data in the
camcorder before transferring movies.
