BEFORE MOUNTING YOUR CAMERA
The following is an explanation of the format of data recorded by your
camera, as well as the configuration of directories in the card.
Cautions when using the camera as an external
drive
i Do not alter files or folders in your camera in any way. Doing so may result
in your camera not recognizing that data.
If you want to edit files, first copy them to your computer’s hard drive.
i Cards formatted on your computer cannot be used by your camera. Format
all cards to be used by your camera with your camera.
Operating environment
Windows
A computer with a standard-equipped USB port, and preinstalled with
Windows 2000, XP or later is required. Correct operation cannot be
guaranteed for models with upgraded Windows systems.
Macintosh
A model with a standard-equipped USB port, and preinstalled with Mac OS X
10.3.6 or later is required.
Data file formats
The format of the files saved on the card and the method in which the file
names are determined are explained below.

* Up to 9,999 files can be stored in folder 100SANYO. If more files are made,
a folder named 101SANYO is created, and they will be stored in there. New
folders will then be named in sequence, i.e., 102SANYO, 103SANYO, etc.
HINT
About the volume name
i The volume name will be [XACTI] for a card that was formatted with the
camera, [XACTI_INT] for the camera’s internal memory, and [Removable
disc] for a card that was formatted with a computer.
About video clip data recorded with this camera
i You can use Apple’s QuickTime to play back video clips on a computer.
Playback may also be possible using other software that supports the ISO
standard MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (AAC audio). QuickTime 7.1 for Windows is
supplied with the included CD-ROM (SANYO Software Pack).
About audio data recorded with this camera
i If you change the extension (.m4a) of audio data files to “.mp4”, playback
may be possible using software that supports the ISO standard MPEG-4
(AAC audio).
About file names when the card is replaced...
i If the file number reset function is set to off, even when the card is
replaced, consecutive numbering of folder numbers and file names
continues from the previously installed card (see page 142 in the camera’s
instruction manual).
CAUTION
If you intend to view the images on the camera, do not use a computer
to rewrite the card data.
i If the folders, file names, or their configuration is modified using a personal
computer, it will be impossible to play back the data using the camera, and
the camera may not operate properly.

Do not exchange data bi-directionally
i While copying data from the camera to the computer in the card reader
mode, do not perform any operation that would copy the computer data to
the camera.
Concerning recharging while connected to the
USB terminal
i The battery pack can be recharged (see page 22 in the camera’s
instruction manual) while the camera is in the card reader mode.
i Recharging the battery pack when the camera is turned off or in the power
save mode (see page 28 in the camera’s instruction manual) takes longer
