*Files with the THM extension are the thumbnail image files for the camera’s index replay mode.

The “xxxx” in file names represent four-digit numbers.

**Each successive file shot in Stitch Assist mode is assigned a letter starting from “A,” which is inserted as the third digit in the name. i.e. [STA_0001.JPG], [STB_0002.JPG], [STC_0003.JPG]...

All folders except the “xxxCANON” folders contain image settings files. Do not open or delete them.
