Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folders in the internal  
memory or memory cards to organize captured images, videos and audio  
files.

the camera will display the warning message “Folder cannot be created.”  
When this happens, try the following:  
Reset the file number.  
Plug in a new memory card.

be unable to playback when using the camera.
