Files and Folders

The camera creates a file 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 102).

The total number of folders and files allowed depends on the image size and quality, and capacity of the memory card being used for storage.
