FOLDER NAME

All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card. Folder names come in two formats: standard and date.

Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named 100KM003. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number, which will increase by one each time a new folder is created. The next two letters refer to Konica Minolta, and the last three numbers indicate the camera used; 003 indicates a DiMAGE A2.

A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is followed by one register for the year, two register for the month, and two registers for the day: 100YMMDD. The folder 10140223 was created in 2004 on February 23rd.

100KM003

(Standard)

10140223

(Date)

With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with the day’s date will be created. All images recorded that day will be placed in that folder. Images recorded on a different day will placed in a new folder with the corresponding date. When a new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001 unless file number memory is active. For more information on folder organization and file names, see page 152.

SELECT FOLDER

This option allows the selection of existing folders. In quick view or playback mode, the images in the selected folder can be viewed or edited. In recording mode, the folder- name option on in section 2 of the setup menu must be set to standard form in order to select the folder in which to place the subsequent recorded images.

Except for the all-frames-C cancel-print options in section 3 of the playback menu, changes made with menus only affect the images in the selected folder. To make changes to all images in multiple folders, each folder must be selected and the menu operation repeated for each folder. Folders can be selected temporarily with the view- folder option in section 1 of the playback menu (p. 120). Formatting a memory card in section 1 of the playback menu, erases all folders regardless if they are selected or not.
