Inserting a Photo Card

Make sure your photo card uses the file structure and naming conventions defined in the DCF standard so the Photo viewer can display your photos. Your photo card must contain folders and files using the following structure and format:

• The folder structure must be:

 

 

DCIM

100epson

epsn1001.jpg

root/DCIM/

orepsn1001.jpg

root/DCIM/123abcde

Where root is the root directory with a DCIM folder beneath it. Your photos may be in the DCIM directory or in a folder beneath it. Any folders beneath the DCIM folder must be no more than 8 characters long, usually three numbers followed by up to 5 alphabetic characters, such as 100epson. Most digital cameras automatically format the files this way, but if you copy photos to the photo card using another device, you may need to set up this structure yourself.

The photo files must be in JPEG format and named: abcd1234.jpg

Where abcd1234 is a file name 8 characters long, beginning with 4 letters and ending with 4 numbers higher than 0000, such as in epsn1001.jpg.

Note

Your TV can view photos in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format on cards that are DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) version 1.0 compliant.

You cannot insert a Microdrivedisc in your TV.

Note

The Photo viewer cannot display, enlarge, or print TIF images. You see only the icon on the viewer screens for TIF images. You can write TIF images to a CD-R/RW and view them on your computer, however.
