Files and Folders

The camera creates a file and saves it each time you shoot a snapshot, record a movie, or perform any other operation that stores data. Files are grouped by storing them in folders. Each file and folder has its own unique name.

•For details about how folders are organized in memory, see “Memory Folder Structure” (page 124).
