FOLDER TYPES

Memory Card Folder Precautions

The camera automatically creates folders (directories) on the memory card and assigns them names based on dates (month and day). Any image you record is automatically stored into the folder that corresponds to the date it is re- corded.

Up to 900 folders can be created on a single card. The fol- lowing shows a typical folder name.

When you try to save the 251st image to a folder, the cam- era automatically creates a new folder and store the image there.

The above maximum number of files and folders are abso- lute maximums. The actual number of folders and files may be less due to memory card capacity and the size of each image.

Panorama images are divided into multiple images and stored on the memory card.

See “USING CompactFlash CARDS WITH YOUR COM- PUTER” on page E-103 for information about how files and folders are organized.

If there are more than 250 image files in a folder (due to copying from another digital camera or a computer), only the first 250 (in name sequence) can be played back.
