Chapter 11

MISC folder—contains the Print Order file created when you use the Print Order feature.

SYSTEM folder—used for updating camera firmware.

DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K4900 folder. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

100K4900 subfolder—contains all the pictures on the card.

Card File Naming Conventions

mPictures are named DCP_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first picture is named DCP_0001.JPG; the highest number allowed is DCP_9999.JPG.

mWhen a card contains a picture named DCP_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K4900 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K4900), beginning with picture DCP_0001.JPG.

mEven if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was DCP_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named DCP_0008.JPG.

mWhen you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.

mIf you use the card in a camera other than the KODAK EASYSHARE DX4900 Zoom Digital Camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.
