The condition of a media in which files are 

divided into pieces scattered around the media. 

You may not save your images correctly. You 

can solve the condition by performing [MEDIA 

FORMAT] (p. 52).

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts 

Group, a still image data compression (data 

capacity reduction) standard. Your camcorder 

records still images in JPEG format.

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group, 

the group of standards for the coding (image 

compression) of video (movie) and audio. 

There are MPEG1 and MPEG2 formats. Your 

camcorder records movies with SD (standard 

definition) image quality in MPEG2 format.

Reduced-size images which enable you to 

view many images at the same time. [VISUAL 

INDEX], [ INDEX] and [ INDEX] use a 

thumbnail display system.

VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate, the recording 

format for automatically controlling the bit rate 

(the volume of recording data in a given time 

segment) according to the scene being recorded. 

For fast-moving video, a lot of hard disk space is 

used to produce a clear image, so the recording 

time to the media shortens.
