DCF standard

For data recorded by digital cameras, folder and file names that comply with the DCF standard will be automatically assigned. The DCF standard has the following requirements.

Files or folders that do not comply with these requirements cannot be recognised by the projector. If you change the folder and file names on computers, the projector may not be able to recognise them correctly.

Folder (directory) name

BFolders are created as sub-folders of the DCIM folder on the SD memory card.

Data located in folders other than the DCIM folder is not recognized.

BFolder names consist of three numerals (folder number) followed by five alphanumeric characters. (Example: 100ABCDE)

Numbers between 100 and 999 can be used for the three numerals and the alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37 characters: 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_(No distinction is made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters. Double-byte characters cannot be used.)

BMultiple folders using the same three-digit combination (folder number) cannot be recognised correctly.

BFolder sub-hierarchies are not supported.

File name

BFile names consist of four alphanumeric characters followed by four numerals (file number), followed by “.JPG” (extension). (Example: ABCD0001.JPG)

The alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37 characters: 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_and numbers between 0001 and 9999 can be used for the four numerals (No distinction is made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters. Double-byte characters cannot be used.)

BMultiple files using the same four-digit combination (file number) cannot be recognised correctly.

File format

Only Exif2.2-compliant JPEG images are supported.

NOTE:

BIf you convert image formats using ImageCreator 1.5, folder and file names that comply with the DCF standard will be automatically assigned. (Folder names consist of three numerals followed by “PJPCN” and file names consist of “JPCN” followed by four numerals. Refer to page 32 for details on ImageCreator 1.5.)
