The new card needs to be initialized in the camcorder. When you do that, several things happen - including the camcorder's "operating system" sets up a database file that keeps track of the various video and still image files that your new camcorder captures and folders/subdirectories in which it stores the data you capture.

Refer to the camcorder's manual

Please Accept my answer by providing you with the best possible solution. Would be more glade.
