DELETING FILES

DELETING FILES

You can delete a single file, or you can delete all files currently in memory.

IMPORTANT!

• Note that file deletion cannot be undone. Once you delete a file, it is gone. Make sure you really do not need a file anymore before you delete it. Especially when deleting all files, make sure you check all the files you have stored before proceeding.

• A protected file cannot be deleted. To delete a protected file, unprotect it first (page 86).

• Delete cannot be performed when all the files in memory are protected (page 87).

Deleting a Single File

Perform the following steps when you want to delete a single file.

1.

In the PLAY mode, press [ 왔 ] ( ).

2.

Use [ 왗 ] and [ 왘 ] to scroll through files and display the one you want to delete.

FILE MANAGEMENT

FILE MANAGEMENT

The file management capabilities of the camera make it easy to keep track of images. You can protect files against deletion, and even use its DPOF feature to specify images for printing.

Folders

Your camera automatically creates a directory of image storage folders in its built-in Flash memory or on the memory card.

Memory Folders and Files

An image you record is automatically stored in a folder, whose name is a serial number. You can have up to 900 folders in memory at the same time. Folder names are generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 100th folder.

1 0 0 C A S I O

Serial number (3 digits)

Each folder can hold files numbered up to 9,999.

Trying to store the 10,000th file in a folder causes the next serially numbered folder to be created. Folder names are generated as shown below.

Example: Name of the 26th file

C I M G 0 0 2 6 . J P G

Extension

Serial number (4 digits)

• The actual number of files you will be able to store on a memory card depends on the image quality settings, capacity of the card, etc.

• For details about the directory structure, see “Memory

Directory Structure” on page 124.

PRINT Image Matching

II

Images include PRINT Image Matching

II data (mode setting and other camera setup information). A printer that supports PRINT Image Matching II reads this data and adjusts the printed image accordingly, so your images come out just the way you intended when you recorded them.

* Seiko Epson Corporation holds the copyright for PRINT Image Matching and

PRINT Image Matching II .

90

Exif Print

Exif Print is an internationally supported, open standard file format that makes it possible to capture and display vibrant digital images with accurate colors. With Exif 2.2, files include a wide range of shooting condition information that can be interpreted by an Exif Print printer to produce betterlooking prints.

IMPORTANT!

• Information about the availability of Exif Print compatible printer models can be obtained from each printer manufacturer.

FILE MANAGEMENT

Using USB DIRECT-PRINT

Your camera supports USB

DIRECT-PRINT, which was developed by Seiko Epson

Corporation. When connected directly to a printer that supports

USB DIRECT-PRINT, you can select images to be printed and start the print operation directly from the camera.

DPOF settings (page 87) are used to determine which images and how many copies should be printed.

1.

Use the DPOF procedure on page 87 to specify the images in file memory that you want to print.

2.

Connect the USB cradle to the printer.

[ 왔 ] to select “Print”, and then press [SET].

• This automatically starts printing of the images you specified with the DPOF procedure.

• If you want to print the same batch of images again, press the [USB] button on the USB cradle.

• A message appears on the monitor screen, followed by the DPOF setting screen (page 87), if there are no

DPOF settings currently configured on the camera to control the printing operation. If this happens, configure the required DPOF settings and then perform step 6 of the above procedure again.

• If you want to change the current DPOF settings, select “DPOF” on the print menu to display the

DPOF setting screen (page 87).

9.

After printing is complete, turn off the camera and remove it from the USB cradle.

92

IMPORTANT!

• Contact your printer manufacturer for information about models that support USB DIRECT-PRINT, upgrades, etc.

• Never disconnect the USB cable, or perform any camera or USB cradle operation while printing is in progress. Doing so causes a printer error.

• To interrupt an ongoing print operation, perform the required operation on the printer.

FILE MANAGEMENT

Using the FAVORITE Folder

You can copy scenery shots, photos of your family, or other special images from a file storage folder (page 124) to the

FAVORITE folder in built-in memory (page 124). Images in the FAVORITE folder are not displayed during normal playback, so it helps to keep your personal image private as you carry them around. FAVORITE folder images are not deleted when you change memory cards, so you can always keep them on hand.

— The camera’s built-in startup image

— A snapshot you recorded with the camera

— A movie you recorded with the camera two seconds or less in length and 200KB or less in size

• The snapshot image or movie that you select as the startup image is stored in a special memory location called “startup image memory”. Only one image can be stored in startup image memory at one time.

Selecting a new startup image overwrites anything that is already stored in startup image memory.

Because of this, if you want to return to a previous startup image, you need to have a separate copy of that image in the camera’s standard image memory.
