When pictures are recorded with On selected for INFO.TXT info.txt, information about each image is added to

an independent text file (“info.txt”) stored in the same folder as the picture. When the contents of the mem- ory card are viewed on a computer, this file can be read with a text browser such as Notepad or SimpleText. If

Off (the default option) is selected, photo information will no longer be re- corded to the info.txt file. Information about pictures recorded when Off is selected can still be viewed in the photo information display ( 68–69).

When On is selected, the following information is recorded:

• File number and type	• Image adjustment
• Camera type and firmware version	• Sensitivity (ISO equivalency)
• Metering mode	• White balance
• Exposure mode	• Image sharpening
• Shutter speed	• Date of recording
• Aperture	• Image size and quality
• Exposure compensation	• Saturation control
• Focal length and digital zoom factor	• Active focus area

Images are listed in the order recorded, separated by a blank line.

The info.txt file can not be transferred to a computer using PictureProject. It can be copied using normal Explorer or Finder operations when the camera USB option is set to Mass storage.
