Precautions when Using a Memory Card on a Computer
Note that the folder named “DCIM” is the parent (top) folder of all the files on a memory card. When transferring memory card contents to a hard disk, MO disk, or other external storage, treat all the contents inside a DCIM folder as a set and always keep them together. You can change the name of the DCIM folder on your computer. Changing the name to a date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. However, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder back to “DCIM” before you copy it back to a memory card for playback on the camera. The camera does not recognize any folder name other than DCIM.
The above is also true about the names of folders inside the DCIM folder. These folders must be returned to the names assigned to them by the camera whenever you copy the folder back to the memory card for playback on the camera.
CONNECTING TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
We also strongly recommend that after transferring data from a memory card to other external storage you reformat the memory card and delete its contents before using it to record more images.
