Memory card folder organization

Once the camera is connected to the computer, image and audio files can be accessed by double clicking on icons. To copying images and audio recordings, simply drag and drop the file icon into a location in the computer.

The misc. folder contains

DPOF print files (p. 60).

Image-file names begin with “PICT” followed by a four-digit file number and a tif, jpg, mov, or thm extension. Voice-memo and audio caption files have a wav extension and the file name corresponds to its image file. Audio recordings also use the wav extension. The thumbnail images (thm) are produced with super-fine images and are only used in camera operation.

Files and folders on the memory card can be deleted using the computer. Do not change the name of a file on the card or add a date to the card with a computer. Never format the memory card from the computer; always use the camera to format the card (p. 58, 70).

The number in the image file name may not correspond to the frame number of the image on the camera. As images are deleted on the camera, the frame counter will adjust itself to show the number of images on the memory card and reassign the frame numbers accordingly. The file numbers will not change when an image is deleted. When a new image is recorded, it will be assigned a number one greater than the largest file number in the folder.

When the file number exceeds 9,999, a new folder will be created with a number one greater than the greatest folder number on the memory card: e.g. from 100MLT15 to 101MLT15. When a DPOF file is created for a print order (p. 64), a misc. folder is automatically made for the file.

Camera Notes

Image files contain exif tag data. This data includes the time and date the image was recorded as well as the camera settings used. This data can be viewed with the camera or the DiMAGE Viewer software.

If an image is opened in a image-processing application that does not support exif tag data, and then the image is saved overwriting the original data, the exif tag information will be erased. When using software other than the DiMAGE Viewer, always rename the image file to protect the exif tag data.
