3Creating and Selecting a Folder

Selecting a Folder

With the Select/Create folder screen displayed, turn the <5> dial to select the desired folder, then press <0>.

XCaptured images will be saved in the selected folder.

“100EOS5D” is the folder No. and the number on the right is the number of images contained in the folder.

You cannot select a folder to playback the images inside.

Creating Folders with a Personal Computer

With the memory card open on the screen, create a new folder named “Dcim.”

Open the Dcim folder and create as many folders as necessary to save and organize your images.

The folder names must start with three digits from 100 to 999 followed by five letters, like 100ABC_D. The five letters can be a combination of upper or lower case letters from A to Z and an underscore. There can be no spaces in the folder name. Also, if there are folder numbers with the same three-digit number (regardless of the letters) such as “100ABC_C” and “100ABC_D”, the camera will not recognize the folders.
