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\100K6440 folder, subsequent pictures appear in a new folder (\DCIM\101K6440), 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.

!When you insert a different card into your camera, the next picture number is defined by incrementing the higher of the last picture taken by the camera, or the highest existing picture number in the folder.

!If you use the card in a camera other than the Kodak EasyShare DX6440 zoom digital camera, and that camera manufacturer adheres to this file structure standard, the \DCIM folder contains a folder named by that camera. For more information, refer to the documentation that accompanied that camera.

Burst Pictures

When a burst series is initiated, a letter “B” replaces the underscore in the file name. When a burst series is initiated or ended, the second digit to the left of the decimal is incremented by 1.
