HP 618 manual Grouping Images and Dissolving Image Groups, Two Images in a Group

Note: A group becomes a folder on the memory card, in which all the images in that group are stored.

Note: Group names must be eight characters or less, and cannot contain spaces. Also, the camera does not accept group names that begin with BR or TL (regardless of language) because these letters are reserved.

Note: Dissolving a group does not delete the images in the group, only the group name.
