Introduction

• You may not be able to play some still images you have

processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images

you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).

You may experience one or more of the following symptoms when playing files.

• It may take some time to play files depending on the

number of folders, number of files and volume of data

involved.

• EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for

Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for

storing interchange information in image files, especially

those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for

more information.)

*3 About the MP3 file format

MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)

Playing the MP3 file format

The MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.

The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.

Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

*4 Including the root directory, the maximum number of folders and files in each folder is limited to 256 in total.
