Copying between SD card 
and Built-in Memory/HDD
Motion pictures or still pictures recorded with this unit can be copied between an SD card inserted in 
this unit and a built-in memory/HDD.
≥If the remaining capacity on a single SD card is not enough, you can copy to multiple SD cards 
following the instruction on the screen. 
In this case, the last scene copied to an SD card is automatically divided to fit the space on the SD 
card.
≥ If you divide the scenes ( l99), and copy by scene selection, it  is possible to copy matching the 
remaining capacity of the media, or only the necessary parts.

≥The 32 GB built-in memory or 120 GB built-in HDD requires some space to store information and 
manage system files, so the actual usable space is  slightly less than the indicated value. The usable 
built-in memory/HDD space is generally calculated  as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of 
this unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024 k1,024 k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes. 
Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller.
