File Structure
Images are stored in the “XXXTOSHI” folders shown at the right. (The illustration on the
right is an example.)
(“XXX” is a number from 100 to 999.)
The files are given the names “PDR_XXXX.jpg”.
(“XXXX” is a number from 0001 to 9999.)
The extension “.jpg” indicates that the file is in JPEG
format.
“JPEG” is a file format for storing color images in
compressed form. The compression rate can be
selected. The higher the compression rate, the greater
the reduction in image quality. On this camera, the
compression rate is determined by the image quality
setting.
JPEG is a file format commonly used for computer
image programs and on the Internet.
Images taken on the camera are stored in Exif format.
“Exif” is the abbreviation of “Exchangeable Image File
Format”, a color still image format for digital still
cameras approved by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Indus-
tries Association). Exif consists of JPEG data and also includes thumbnail image and
shooting mode settings. The Exif format is compatible with TIFF (another image format)
and JPEG formats, and can be used with ordinary computer image processing programs.
