Locating Pictures and Videos on a Card

Pictures stored on SD/MMC Cards use a standard (DCF-Digital Camera Format) agreed upon by many camera manufacturers. This lets you use the cards in different cameras. If you use a card reader to retrieve your files, the following description of the card file structure may be helpful.

MISC folder—contains the order files created when you use the Share feature to tag files for printing, emailing, and as favorites; also contains the address book and album names copied from the computer.

SYSTEM folder—created and used while updating camera firmware.

DCIM folder—root level folder, contains the 100K6200 folder. Each time you turn on the camera or insert a different card, any empty folders within the DCIM folder are removed.

100K6200 subfolder—initially contains all pictures and videos on the card.

Picture Naming Conventions

!Pictures are named 100_nnnn.JPG, and are numbered in the order in which they are taken. The first picture is named 100_0001.JPG; the highest number allowed is 100_9999.JPG.

!When a card contains a picture named 100_9999.JPG in the \DCIM\100K6200 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K6200), beginning with picture 101_0001.JPG.

!Even if you transfer pictures to the computer or delete pictures from the camera, the camera continues to use consecutive numbers for all subsequent pictures. For example, if the last picture taken was

100_0007.JPG and you delete it, the next picture you take is named 100_0008.JPG.
