UNDERSTANDING CAMERA MEMORY AND STORAGE

Optional SD Memory Card

Photos, video clips, and other information recorded by the camera are stored on the SD card using the Design Rule for Camera File System (DCF) protocol. The DCF protocol is designed to accommodate file and data exchange between digital cameras and other devices.

DCF Protocol

The DCF protocol defines the format for image file data as well as the directory for the memory card. Photos that are taken by a DCF camera can be viewed on DCF-compatible cameras from other manufacturers.
