E-mail Copy

E-mail copy makes a economy 640 X 480 (VGA) JPEG copy of an original still image so that it may be easily transmitted by e-mail. Images with voice memos are copied with their audio files. Copies of locked images are

unlocked. DPOF information is not copied. Movie clips and audio files cannot be copied, and E-mail copies cannot be recopied. The e-mail copy function is selected in the basic section of the playback-mode menu.

E-mail copy option has two settings:

This-frame- To copy the file displayed or highlighted in playback mode. Selecting this menu option will automatically start the e-mail copy routine.

Marked frames - To copy single or multiple files. When selected, the frame-selection screen will appear; highlight the file to be e-mail copied with the yellow border and then push the zoom lever up to mark it with the check icon. To deselect a file to be copied, highlight the selected thumbnail and push the zoom lever down; the check icon will disappear. Continue until all the files to be copied are marked. Press the enter button to start the e-mail copy routine.

If the memory card does not have the enough space to create the copy, or a movie, audio, or e-mail file is selected, a warning message will be displayed.

When the copy is made, a screen will appear to indicate the folder name containing the copied images. Press the enter button to compete the operation and return to the menu.

E-mail copy images are placed in a folder designated by EM. The e-mail copy images will be stored in the same folder until the number of images exceed 9,999. When more than 9,999 copies have been made, a new folder with a serial number one greater than the last folder will be made for the next 9,999 copies. See the memory card folder organization section on page 80. The e-mail copy indicator is displayed with copied image in playback mode

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

 

100MLT15. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number, which will

 

increase by one each time a new folder is created. The next three letters

100MLT15

refer to Minolta, and the last two numbers indicate the camera used; 15

(Standard)

indicates a DiMAGE Xi.

 

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: 101YMMDD. The folder 10121012 was created in

10121012

2002 on October 12th.

(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. If the file number memory function is off, when a new folder is created, the serial number in the image-file name is reset to 0001. For more information on folder organization and file names, see page 82.
