Copying still pictures and motion pictures
∗1 New folders are created in the following cases:
• When pictures are taken to folders containing files numbered 999.
• When using cards already containing the same folder number (for example,
pictures taken with other cameras, etc.).
• When recording after performing [No.Reset].
∗2 Note that pictures cannot be uploaded to image-sharing websites if the files in the
AD_LUMIX folder are deleted.
•Do not delete or modify folders or data in the AVCHD folder using Windows
Explorer or other tools. The camera may be unable to play back the
motion pictures correctly if any of these files are deleted or modified.
For data management and editing of AVCHD motion pictures, use the
“PHOTOfunSTUDIO” software on the supplied CD-ROM.
You can save pictures to use on your computer by dragging and dropping folders and
files into separate folders on your computer.
