Card Dir, FTP Dir

Specify the folder name in which you want files to be stored.

For Card Dir, specify a folder name used in a CF card. For FTP Dir, you can use up to eight characters to specify a folder name used in an FTP server.

If you select the “Auto” check box, a folder is created automatically according to the date on which you save an image. The folder thus created is assigned a name that consists of the first two characters of your specified folder name and the six characters representing the date.

Example: If the specified folder name in Card Dir is IMGBOX with the “Auto” check box selected and the date is 2005.03.28, then a folder named “IM050328” will be created.

File Name

Specify up to four leading characters for the name of the file in which you want to save an image.

A photographed image is saved under a file name comprising the specified file name and an automatically assigned serial number. The serial number recycles back to No. 1 when you turn off the power.

If you select the “Auto” check box, a photographed image is saved under a file name comprising a total of eight characters representing the date and time (days, hours, minutes, and seconds) at which you save the image. To avoid duplicate file names, we recommend selecting Auto under most conditions.

Example: If the file name in File Name is DSL1 with the “Auto” check box selected and the date is 2005.03.28 15:30:54, the image will be saved under the file name “28153054.”
