How to handle data recorded on the memory card
AVCHD mode
Data recorded in AVCHD format offers excellent
compatibility with computers due to the file type,
but since this format includes not only video
and audio data, but also a variety of important
information, the folder structure will consist of file
associations as illustrated in the diagram on the
right. If even part of this information is modified or
deleted, the data may no longer be recognized as
AVCHD data, or the memory card may not longer
be able to be used with AVCHD devices.
To prevent the loss of any part of the information
when transferring data on the memory card to a computer or when copying data stored on a computer
back onto the memory card, be sure to use the dedicated AVCCAM viewer. The AVCCAM Viewer can also
be downloaded from the following website.

If files are deleted or copied, if clip protection is added or removed or if other such editing operations
have been performed using editing software or a camera recorder which does not support this camera’s
metadata, the special area for the metadata will be erased, and the shot marks and indexes added by
the camera as well as the PH mode information and other information will be lost.
Therefore, before proceeding with these kinds of editing operations, check whether the camera’s
metadata is supported.
In DV mode

associations as illustrated in the diagram on the
right.
