Appendix

About Folder and File Names

Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folder in the internal memory cards to organize captured images, videos and audio files.

File Naming

File names begin with "PDSC" and followed by a 4-digit number that increases in sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created. Folders names are in the format "xxxPDSC".

If the highest folder number is 999 and the highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera will display the warning message "Folder cannot be created". When this happens, try one of the following ways:

- Reset the file number. See "Setting File Numbering" on page 56.

Do not change the folder and file names in the memory card using your PC. It may be unable to playback the data using the camera.
