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 folders in its built-in flash memory or on the memory card to store images.

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 122.

DPOF

The letters “DPOF” stand for “Digital Print Order Format,” which is a format for recording on a memory card or other medium which digital camera images should be printed and how many copies of the image should be printed.

Then when you print on a DPOF-compatible printer or at a professional print service that supports DPOF, only the files you selected on the card are printed, in the quantities you specified.

With this camera, you should always select images by viewing them on the monitor screen. Do not specify images by file name without viewing the file contents.
