Folder name
All recorded images are stored in folders on the memory card or in the camera’s internal memory. Two
Standard folders have an eight character name. The initial folder is named 100KM027. 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; 027 indicates a DiMAGE Z20.
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 10150325 was created in 2005 on March 25th.

Date and time setup
It is important to accurately set the clock. When a still image or a movie clip is recorded, the date and time of the recording are saved with the image and are displayed during playback or can be read with the supplied DiMAGE Viewer software. The date format that is displayed or imprinted can be changed: YYYY/MM/DD (year, month, day), MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, year), DD/MM/YYYY (day, month, year). See page 18 for instructions on how to set the clock and calendar.
Date imprinting
The date of recording can be printed directly on the image. The imprinting function must be activated in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 87) before the image is taken. Once activated, the date will continue to be imprinted until the function is reset; a yellow bar is displayed behind the frame counter to indicate the imprinting function
With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded, a new folder with the day’s date is created. All images recorded that day are placed in that folder. Images recorded on a different day are placed in a new folder with the corresponding date. If the file number memory function is off (p. 91), when a new folder is created, the serial number in the
is active.
The date is imprinted in the lower right corner of the image when viewed horizontally. It is printed directly on the photograph writing over the image information. The date can be imprinted in three formats: year / month / day, month / day / year, and day / month / year. The date and date format are set in section 2 of the setup menu (p. 87).
Camera Notes
Every time a still image is recorded, it is stored with an exif tag that contains the date and time of recording as well as shooting information. This information can be viewed with the camera in the Quick View or playback mode, or on a computer with the DiMAGE Viewer software.
