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

Your camera creates three directory names:

• DICAM. All captured images, videos and audio files are stored in this folder except for files recorded using the Auction or YouTube® mode.
• _AUCT. Captured images using the Auction mode are saved in this folder.
• _UTUBE. Captured videos using the YouTube® mode are saved in this folder. Folder name begins with a 3-digit number from 100 to 999 and followed by "DICAM" or "_AUCT" or "UTUBE", 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:

• Reset the file number and plug in a new memory card.
• The folder number and file number are initialized and renumbered from 100 and 0001 respectively.

Caution

- 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.
