SETUP 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

 

100MLT08. The first three digits are the folder’s serial number, which will increase

100MLT08

by one each time a new folder is created. The next three letters refer to Minolta,

(Standard)

and the last two numbers indicate the camera used; 08 indicates a DiMAGE

 

F100.

 

A date folder name also starts with the three digit serial number and is followed

 

by one figure for the year, two figure for the month, and two figure for the day:

 

101YMMDD. The folder 10120412 was created in 2002 on April 12th.

10120412

With the date folder format selected, when an image is recorded a new folder with

(Date)

 

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 be placed in a new folder with the corresponding date. If the file num- ber memory function is off (p. 99), 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 112.

Audio signals

Every time a button is pressed, an audio signal will give a positive confirmation of the operation. The audio signals can be turn off in the custom 1 section of the setup menu (p. 96). The tone of the signal can also be changed; signal 1 is mechanical and signal 2 is electrical.
