Appendix
About the Folder & File Name
Your digital camera automatically creates a directory of folders in the internal
memory or memory card that it uses to organize still images, movie clips and other
information.
Folder Structure
Folder name begins with a 3-digit number from
100 to 999 and followed by “DICAM”, each
folder holds up to 9999 files. If new files are
made, a new folder named in sequence will be
made automatically.
File Naming
File name begins with “DSCI” and are followed by a 4-digit number that increases in
sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created.
If the highest folder number is 999 and highest file number exceeds 9999, the
camera will display the warning message “Folder cannot be created”. When it
appears, try one of the following ways:
y Reset the file number and plug in a new memory card.
y The folder number and file number are initialized and renumbered from 100 and
0001 respectively.
Caution
y Do not change the folder and file names in the memory card using your
computer. It may be unable to playback the data using the digital camera.
