Movies

Folder names and file names of moving images are created within
EVERIO, compliant to the SD-VIDEO standard 1.1(NOTE).

NOTE:

SD-Video standard
SD-Video standard is a standard for SD Memory Card format
of recording moving images established by SD Card
Association.It is used when recording moving images on SD
Memory Cards with mobile devices such as digital video
cameras.
As it is a new standard, the files cannot be easily applied to
PCs as they are. However, the files can be converted in high-
speed to DVD video by just rewriting the file header
information without re-encoding. DOLBY DIGITAL AC3 is
adopted for easy conversion of the audio into DVD.
For details, please refer to http://www.sdcard.com/.

Remarks

(1) Recording will stop around 3.8GB when shooting

continuous video with a medium more than 2GB.

(2) Normal recording may not be done depending on the

image quality setting when using a slow writing medium.

Movies are recorded SD-VIDEO1.1 standard, (images) MPEG-
2-PS (with RDI),(audio) Dolby Digital AC-3, NTSC 60 frame/ PAL

Pictures

Folder names and file names of still images are created within
EVERIO, compliant to the DCF (Design rule for Camera File
system) version 2.0 (NOTE1).

NOTE1:

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) version 2.0
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) version 2.0 is a
standard for digital still camera image formats established by
Japan Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
It specifies the folder structures and the memory recording
forms based on the Exif-JPEG, and it guarantees compatibility
among different models.
Still images can be exchanged among digital cameras that are
DCF compliant, regardless of the makes and the models.
Printing is possible just by connecting a recording medium to
a supporting printer without using a PC.
In addition, the information such as the recording model, the
recording date, and the thumbnail is stored in the DCF format
image files.
Currently, most digital cameras in Japan support this standard,
and the standard is suggested to ISO for international stan-
dardization.

Remarks

(1) Even if file migrations, file deletions, or new folder

creations are carried out in mid-course, the recording will
continue in sequential numbers up to the maximum
number (9999).

(2) The recorded maximum number is recorded inside the

EEPROM in EVERIO.

(3) If there is a file name that is more than the maximum file

number recorded in the EEPROM within the inserted
media (CF, Microdrive, or SD Card), recording will start
from the number that is one added to the recorded
maximum file number in the media. The following file
numbers will be given from this number from then on.

(4) Even if a recording medium is changed (e.g. from a

Microdrive to a SD Card), or changed within the same
