Appendix

About Folder and File Names

Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folder in the internal memory cards to organize
captured images, videos and audio files.

File Naming

File names begin with "SANY" and followed by a 4-digit number that increases in sequence. File
numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created.
The highest folder number is 999 and the highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera will display
the warning message "Folder cannot be created." When this happens, you may need to Plug in a

new memory card.

Do not change the folder and file names in the memory card using your PC. It may
be unable to playback the data using the camera.

used, left or stored in a car
exposed to the hot sun or where
there are extreme changes in
temperature or humidity, or
where it may be exposed to
water or dust.

Operating environment:

Temperature 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) (operation)

•

• Humidity 30 to 90% (operation, no condensation)

–20 to 60°C (–4 to 140°F) (storage)

10 to 90% (storage, no condensation)

CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE DOCKING STATION AND AC ADAPTOR/

CHARGER

DANGER

■ Do not recharge a

battery pack other than
the specified battery
pack

• Recharging a dry-cell battery
or other type of rechargeable
battery may cause excess
heat, combustion, or
leakage, and cause a fire,
injuries, burns, or damage to
nearby objects.

WARNING

■ Cautions when plugging

in the power cord

• Securely plug the power cord
all the way into the power
outlet. If the docking station
or AC adaptor/charger is
used with the power cord not
fully plugged in, heat may be
generated and cause a fire.

• Do not use if the power cord
is damaged or cannot be
correctly plugged into the
power outlet. Using in this
condition may cause a fire or
electric shock.

• Do not allow dust, etc., to
build up on the power cord
or power outlet. A build-up
of dust may cause a short
circuit or generate heat and
cause a fire. Use a dry cloth
to remove dust or dirt
build-up after unplugging
the cord from the power
outlet.

• When unplugging the power
cord, be sure to hold the
plug part and slowly pull it
out of the power outlet.
Pulling the cord portion may
damage the power cord and
cause a fire or electric shock.

■ Do not damage the

power cord

• Do not place heavy objects
on the power cord. Do not
place the power cord near a
heat source. Do not
excessively bend the power
cord, modify it, or secure it
with staples. Doing so may

cause a fire or electric shock.

• If the power cord is
damaged, or if it does not
plug properly into the
docking station, AC
adaptor/charger or wall
outlet, contact the place of
purchase.

■ Cautions concerning the

power cord

• Do not leave the power cord
plugged into an electrical
outlet while the other end is
not plugged into the AC
adaptor/charger. The loose
end can cause electrocution
if touched with wet hands or
if handled by children.

• Use only the supplied power
cord. If a different power
cord is used, it may be rated
for a different current load,
and that may cause a fire.

• The supplied power cord is
for exclusive use with the AC
adaptor/charger supplied
with your camera. Do not
use it with other devices, as
doing so may cause a fire or
electric shock.

• Do not use a bundled power
cord, as the heat generated
may cause a fire.

■ Do not touch the power

cord plug with wet
hands

• Doing so may cause an
electric shock.

CAUTION

■ Do not hold the hot part

for a long time

• The device(s) may become
warm during use. A low
temperature burn may result if
you hold the hot part for a
long time.

■ Do not place on an

unstable surface

• If may fall, resulting in damage
or injury.

• If the device has fallen or has
been trampled on, and its
body is damaged, turn it off,
remove the battery, and take it
to the dealer for repair. Using
the device after its body has
been damaged may cause a
fire or electric shock.

■ Other cautions

• Use only the supplied or
specified docking station and
AC adaptor/charger with your
camera.

• If a docking station or AC
adaptor/charger other than
the ones specified is used, it
may damage the camera and
cause a fire or electric shock.
