When the 9,999th fi le is created in the 999th folder (i.e. fi le SDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999th
VIDEO folder), no more folders can be created. Backup your fi les to a PC and format the storage
media, and then reset fi le numbering from the menu.
The name of a movie fi le recorded by the camcorder should not be modifi ed, because proper
playback by the camcorder requires the original folder and fi le naming convention.
