Minolta dimage7, Dimage 5 Setup Menu Custom, File Number # Memory, Select Folder, NEW Folder

SETUP MODE

SETUP MENU - CUSTOM 1

The custom 1 section of the setup menu controls file number sequencing and the cre- ation of new folders. See page 130 about the organization of the folders on the CompactFlash card

FILE NUMBER (#) MEMORY

When file number memory is selected, if a new folder is created, the first file stored in the folder will have a number one greater than the last file saved. This allows multiple folders to be created to store images by category, place, or date, but the image file numbers will be in the order in which they were shot. If the file number memory is dis- abled, the image file name will have a number one greater than the last image saved in the folder.

If file number memory is active and the CompactFlash card is changed, the first file saved to the new card will have a number one greater than the last file saved on the previous card if the new card does not contain an image with a greater file number. If it does, the file number of the new image will be one greater than the greatest on the card.

SELECT FOLDER

This option allows the selection of existing folders. After folder is selected, all images recorded will be placed in that folder. In quick view or playback mode, only the images in the selected folder can be viewed or edited.

Except for the all-frames-C setting in the custom 2 section of the playback-mode 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. Formatting a CompactFlash card in the basic sec- tion of the setup menu, erases all folders regardless if it is selected or not.

NEW FOLDER

This allows the creation of new folders. When selected, the electronic keyboard (p. 88) automatically appears so the the folder name can be entered. Once the name is typed in and the enter button on the keyboard is highlighted and entered, the folder will be created and the name will be listed in the select-folder option.

Every folder name begins with a three digit index number. When the electronic key- board activates, three digits will be displayed in the register. This number cannot be changed. Every time a new folder is created, the folder number will increase automati- cally by one greater than the highest folder number on the CompactFlash card. A five- character folder name must be entered after the number; only capital letters, numbers, and the underbar can be used. To cancel the electronic-keyboard display without creat- ing a new folder, press the menu button.
