How to handle data recorded on SD Memory Card
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 SD Memory Card 
to a computer or when copying data stored on a 
computer back onto the SD Memory Card, be sure to use the dedicated AVCCAM Viewer. 
The AVCCAM Viewer can be downloaded from the following website.
(Compatible OS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Mac OS X 10.5/Mac OS X 10.4)

Concerning the handling of the recorder’s metadata
 
   A special manufacturer area in the control file area under the AVCHD format is employed for the 
metadata which is supported by this recorder.
   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 
recorder’s metadata, the special area for the metadata will be erased, and the shot marks and indexes 
added by the recorder 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 recorder’s metadata is 
supported.
